International League T20 2023, Match 4, Desert Vipers vs Sharjah Warriors: Probable XIs, Match Prediction, Pitch Report, and Live Streaming Details

The Desert Vipers and Sharjah Warriors are set to face each other in Match No. 4 of the International League 2023 on Sunday, January 15. The match will take place at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium.

The Warriors, captained by Moeen Ali, got off to a horrendous start to the championship. On Saturday, they faced a heavy 49-run defeat at the hands of Kieron Pollard’s MI Emirates. After being asked to bat first, the Emirates racked up a massive score of 204 for five on the board.

Muhammad Waseem scored 71 runs off 39 balls and showed why he is deemed one of the most powerful strikers of the ball. Thereafter, the Emirates restricted the Warriors to 155 for nine. Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Chris Woakes scored 43 and 62 respectively, but to no avail.

The Vipers, on the other hand, have a strong squad at their disposal. Both Colin Munro and Alex Hales are fresh from playing match-winning knocks in the ongoing edition of the Big Bash League (BBL). Adam Lyth has a truckload of experience and can smash the ball to all parts.

Rohan Mustafa wasn’t a part of the UAE team for the T20 World Cup, but he has loads of potential. The middle-order, consisting of Benny Howell, Sherfane Rutherford, and Sam Billings is a power-packed one. The Vipers also have a strong bowling unit.
