GG vs SWR FAQ

MI Emirates (MIE) will take on Sharjah Warriorz (SWR) in Match 14 of ILT20 2025-26 at the Zayed Cricket Stadium, Abu Dhabi, on Sunday, December 14. This will be only the second day game of the tournament this season.

MI Emirates have had a mixed start to the season. They have won two and lost two of four matches so far. In their last game, they recorded a comfortable seven-wicket win against Abu Dhabi Knight Riders, chasing the target with more than six overs to spare. Coming into this game on the back of a win, MIE will be keen to build some consistency in order to get themselves closer to the knockout slots.

Sharjah Warriorz, on the other hand, are yet to get a win under their belt this season. So far in this tournament, they have not been good while chasing down totals, losing all three matches in which they chased down targets. Their latest defeat came against the Gulf Giants, where they did fight back, though they still lost the game by six wickets. They will be desperate to get points on the board, hence turning around their season.

MIE vs SWR: Pitch Report

The Zayed Cricket Stadium usually offers some help to fast bowlers early, especially with the new ball. Batters need to spend some time at the crease before playing big shots. Once set, scoring becomes easier, but early wickets can put pressure on the batting side.
