ILT20 Match 16 AD vs GG Dream11: Preview

Abu Dhabi Knight Riders and the Gulf Giants are having very similar seasons so far. The Knight Riders, a team partly owned by Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan, are currently fourth in the table with two wins and two losses in three matches.

Gulf Giants have the same win-loss record this season, but they are third on the table due to their vastly better net run rate. The defending champions would certainly want to finish top two in the league table, which affords a team an additional chance to make it to the final.

ILT20 Match 16 AD vs GG Pitch Report

The pitches of the Sheikh Zayed Cricket Stadium are made for T20 cricket. That is to say that they are great for batting and do not deteriorate within the span of 40 overs

However, this stadium sees a lot of dew fall later in the evening, which makes batting second a lot easier than putting up a score.

While the most recent performance by Abu Dhabi Knight Riders at this stadium, being all-out at 95, might suggest that it is not a decent batting pitch, that was mostly due to a solid bowling performance by the MI Emirates. It should also be noted that the Emirates chased the target down within nine overs and with nine wickets to spare.

ILT20 Match 16 ABD vs GUL Dream11 Prediction: Who Will Win The Match

Both teams will be looking to maintain their spot in the top four with an important win here. Comparing both teams squad-wise, there is not much difference in the international quality talent available.

Both teams have shown their ability to chase down targets, so on a pitch like this where batting under lights is much easier, the actual prediction here is the team that wins the toss. But purely on the basis of their bowling attack, we predict the Knight Riders to win this one.
