10.10 PM IST: With this, the Knight Riders opened their account in the ILT20 2023. We will be back with tomorrow's game as Sharjah Warriors cross their fingers with Dubai Capitals.
10.00 PM IST: Again pouring in Dubai and Super soppers went back. THE MATCH WAS ABANDONED DUE TO RAIN ⛈️.
09:26 PM IST | The ground staff and the umpires are having a chat regarding the situation on the ground. Super soppers and vipers are into their work. Although we are currently losing overs, and the rain has stopped. So, we can expect a rain-curtailed game here. The next Inspection is at 10.00 PM IST (20.30 LOCAL TIME).
09.00 PM IST: There is no heavy rain ⛈️, just drizzles☔, and the frustrating wait continues. The next update will be available at 9.30 PM IST (20.00 LOCAL TIME).
08:33 PM IST | Nothing to update as it's still raining🌧🌧 at the moment. The pitch and square of the ground have been still under covers. We hope that the rain gods stay away from this exciting battle. Fingers Crossed🤞..!!!
08:10 PM IST | OH-No..!! The conditions out there don't look promising. The rain 🌧️ came back once again and it was really pouring down. Looks like the delay might be stretched. Stay tuned for further updates.
07.33 PM IST: Good news folks, the rain has stopped at this moment. The players are out in the middle for warm-ups. It will take around half an hour to get the pitch ready.
Saipavan: Hey Tugral, Good Evening, Thank you
for the warm welcome buddy, I am doing well and hope you are doing well too. Coming to your
question. This was the worst session for Knight Riders as they lost all the matches. In my point of view, they will come back in the second half but I don't think they will qualify for playoffs.
Tugral: Good evening to everyone tuning in!!!! It's time to welcome my co-commentator Saipavan to the commentary box. Hey mate, hope you are doing well. Knight Rider's already bleak chances of making the playoffs will be further diminished by a loss today. As the season's second half approaches, will they be able to improve and regain their form?
Toss Update: Oh, it's raining🌧🌧 in Dubai, and the entire ground has been covered. Just a friendly reminder that we won't begin losing overs until 19:00 local time. The scenes are not promising at the moment.
Stay tuned for the toss and team sheets that shall unfurl on your screen soon.
Key Players:
1. Andre Russell (ABD): In a disappointing season for the Knight Riders, Andre Russell is the leading run-getter for them in 5 matches. He has hit one half-century and is expected to deliver in a big way to open the account for his side.
2. Dhananjaya de Silva (ABD): Sri Lanka all-rounder Dhananjaya de Silva is behind Russell as he has scored the second-most runs for his team. With a 40-ball 65-run knock in the last match, he could be picked for this fixture.
3. James Vince (GUL): Gulf Giants skipper James Vince is the man in form as he is the leading run-getter for his team in the competition so far. With 3 fifties in 5 outings, Vince is an ideal choice for this contest.
4. Chris Lynn (GUL): Hard-hitting Australian Chris Lynn missed the first two games but is averaging 38.66 with one half-century in 3 encounters. Batting at a crucial no.3 spot, Lynn is expected to deliver performances.
5. Chris Jordan (GUL): England international Chris Jordan is the leading wicket-taker for the Giants with 10 wickets in 5 matches. He is their go-to man and it would be a safer option for this fixture.
