After a sluggish start to their ILT20 2025 campaign, the Sharjah Warriorz have finally found some momentum. Despite sitting at the bottom of the table with just two wins from five matches, back-to-back victories over former champions MI Emirates and Gulf Giants have reignited their playoff hopes.
The Warriorz edged past MI Emirates by 6 runs in a tense finish and followed it up with a spirited 11-run win over the Gulf Giants, showcasing their growing confidence and resilience. Their bowling unit, led by the experienced Maheesh Theekshana and Chris Woakes, has stepped up in crunch moments, while the likes of Johnson Charles and Joe Denly have provided stability with the bat.
As they prepare to face the Dubai Capitals in Match 20 at the spin-friendly Sharjah surface, the Warriorz will be eager to carry forward their winning momentum. A third consecutive victory could lift them off the bottom and inject fresh energy into their campaign. With confidence returning and key players finding form, Sharjah Warriorz will be keen to make a late surge in the tournament.
The Dubai Capitals, defending champions of the ILT20, have endured a turbulent 2025 campaign so far. With just two wins from six matches, they find themselves languishing in fifth place on the points table, desperately needing a turnaround to stay in playoff contention.
Their only victories have come against the Abu Dhabi Knight Riders, a side also battling inconsistency. However, back-to-back defeats to the Desert Vipers and MI Emirates have exposed the Capitals’ vulnerabilities, particularly in the middle order and death bowling. Despite boasting a star-studded lineup, the team has struggled to click collectively, often faltering in crunch moments.
Captain Dasun Shanaka will be hoping for a stronger showing from his senior players, especially in the batting department where consistency has been lacking. The bowling unit, led by David Willey and Muhammad Jawadullah, has shown promise but needs better support to contain opposition firepower.
With the business end of the tournament approaching, the Capitals must regroup quickly to register their first-ever win over Sharjah Warriorz in ILT20 history. Another loss could all but end their hopes of making the playoffs.
