ILT20 2025 Match 21 Details
- Match: Sharjah Warriorz vs Gulf Giants, 21st Match
- Date: January 26, 2025
- Venue: Sharjah Cricket Stadium, Sharjah
- Time: PST 7:30 PM | GMT 10:00 AM | LOCAL 6:00 PM
Preview
The Sharjah Warriorz are coming off a mixed campaign and sit at the bottom of the table due to their poor Net Run Rate (NRR). With only two wins from six matches, this is a must-win game for them to keep playoff hopes alive. The inclusion of power hitters like Tom Kohler-Cadmore and Tim Seifert gives them a competitive edge.
The Gulf Giants, placed just above the Warriorz, are also struggling with two wins in six games. However, with players like James Vince and Shimron Hetmyer in their ranks, they will look to finish the league stage on a high note.
Weather and Pitch Report
- Weather: Clear skies are expected during the match with temperatures hovering around 24–26°C. Perfect conditions for a full game.
- Pitch Report: The Sharjah surface is known for its flat nature and short boundaries, favoring batters. Spinners might play a role in the middle overs. Teams should ideally chase here, as the dew factor will make gripping the ball difficult later in the evening.
