The Abu Dhabi Knight Riders are looking very strong and they’ll start as the favourites to win this game.
Andre Russell: Andre Russell will be the best captaincy option for this game. He will bowl 2-3 overs and we all know what he can do with the bat. Russell scored 12 runs and picked up 1 wicket in the first game.
Sunil Narine: Sunil Narine is one of the best spinners in T20 cricket. He is a genuine wicket-taker and bowls very economically. He bowled very economically and picked up 1 wicket in the first game. Narine will be an ideal captaincy choice.
David Wiese: David Wiese will bowl 4 overs and will bat in the middle order for the Gulf Giants. He is an excellent all-rounder and can win games from both bat and the ball. Wiese will be a top captaincy pick.
James Vince: James Vince will be an excellent pick for this game. He will bat in the top order and was in excellent touch in the Big Bash League. Vince scores big when he gets going and he will be an excellent differential pick.
Ali Khan: Ali Khan bowled really well in the first game. He bowled in the middle and death overs and picked up 2 wickets. He is a talented bowler and bowls at a decent pace. Ali Khan will be a good differential pick.
Connor Esterhuizen: Connor Esterhuizen will bat in the lower order for the Abu Dhabi Knight Riders. His fantasy value is very low for this game and he will be our player to avoid.
