Abu Dhabi Knight Riders (ADKR) will take on Sharjah Warriorz (SWR) in Match 25 of ILT20 2025-26 at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium, Abu Dhabi, on Monday, December 22.

The Abu Dhabi Knight Riders are currently placed fifth on the points table. They have won three out of eight matches so far. ADKR had lost to Sharjah Warriorz earlier in this season. They will be looking for a revenge encounter here. A victory here will be very crucial for them, as this will help them keep their hopes of making a playoff alive.

Sharjah Warriorz are struggling this season, which has put them at the end of the points table, with only two victories from a total of seven matches. Their season has not been going as expected, and they cannot afford to lose more matches. A victory against ADKR might boost their morale to shift them up the ladder.

ADKR vs SWR: Pitch Report
