International T20 League 2023

Match 19- SW vs ADKR

Preview

SW will be at loggerheads with ADKR in match 19 of the International T20 League 2023 at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium on Saturday, January 28. ADKR are yet to open their account in the tournament and are positioned at sixth in the league standings. SW on the other hand is placed at fourth in the points table. With 2 wins from six games, the Sharjah based franchise is tied at five points with DC. A win here would keep them in the race to the playoffs.  

It looks highly unlikely for the ADKR to make it to the top four given that the maximum they can finish with is 8 points. SW can go to 9 points with just two more wins from their remaining four fixtures. 

As such, SW would not want ADKR to spoil their party. In recent games, Moeen Ali’s men have outplayed their opposition in every department. They easily chased down 182 runs against Dubai courtesy Tom Kohler Cadmore’s sensational ton. They then defended 151 against GG in the following game. 

In the last game that was eventually washed out in Sharjah, Junaid Siddique and Naveen-ul-Haq reduced DC to 17 for 4. Narine, Hossein and Dhananjaya De Silva can play a crucial role for ADKR in this game. Ahead of the tantalising encounter, let us have a look at how these two sides will fare out on Saturday.
