SJH vs GUL: The 30th match of the International League T20 2023 will be a contest to watch as both Sharjah Warriors and Gulf Giants will lock horns to gain two crucial points at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium, Abu Dhabi.
The Gulf Giants are showing their dominance at the top of the points table with 6 wins in the last 9 matches and would like to continue their winning streak in the upcoming matches too. They have already proved their mettle in the tournament and are already geared for the qualifiers. A win or loss won’t impact them much, but the Warriors would really like to settle their scores with Sharjah Warriors, which made them smell like barren land in their last meeting at the Dubai International stadium.
In the last match, Gulf Giants decimated Desert Vipers by 25 run victory margin. The robust opening stand between Tom Latham and J. Vince gave the team a solid start followed by Shemron Hetmyer firecrackers, in the end, took the Giants to a match-winning total. Hetmyer belted 54 runs off just 35 balls with 2 blazing fours and 4 towering sixes. Later the bowling unit restricted Desert Wipers to a meagre total of 155 snatching the victory away from the jaw.
On the other hand, this will be a do-or-die match for Sharjah Warriors. They are desperately looking for a win to remain immune in the tournament. A win under the belt and a positive run rate will pave the way for the qualifiers. Their performance throughout the tournament has been below par. They have managed to win only 3 matches in the last 9. They haven’t tasted victory in the last 2 matches and ironically the last time they savoured victory was against Gulf Giants. The Warriors would like to repeat their last match performance against the Gulf Giants.
