DV vs ADKR Match Preview

Desert Vipers came agonizingly close to winning the first ILT20, but failed to deliver a strong performance on the final day. They’re determined to build on their outstanding performance last season and get this year’s edition off to a strong start. Their first game will be against the Abu Dhabi Knight Riders, who had a disappointing season. Their only victory of the season came in their final game against the Sharjah Warriors. They’ve hit the reset button, opting for a new crop of players, and are now hoping to begin this year’s campaign with a victory. The Vipers easily defeated the Knight Riders in their previous two meetings.

• Laurie Evans- the right-hander is another batter in fantastic form at the top of the order for Abu Dhabi Knight Riders. He has hit 41 runs in both of his last two innings.
• Andries Gous- the right arm fast bowler is consistent, fast and always has the ability to dismiss any top batter. He dismissed the free hitting Jason Roy in the last game.

Desert Vipers are a much stronger side, and they should have no problems tackling the challenge the Knight Riders bring them. Considering the team combination, Desert Vipers is expected to win this match.
