After 15 days of high-quality cricket, the Emirates D20 League is finally ready to choose its winner. Battling the other four teams, Fujairah and Abu Dhabi have moved to the final of the Emirates D20 League but now only one of them could lay claim to the trophy.
The final is scheduled to be held on 28th June 2022. Let’s look at all the important details regarding the last match of the tournament.
Final: Abu Dhabi vs Fujairah
Abu Dhabi with five wins in their 10 league games, were able to get into the Semi-final stages but the Fujairah team did so by massively outperforming the other five teams. On way to their semi-final berth, they won eight of their 10 games, amassing a total of 16 points. Although their past performances tilt the upcoming final in Fujairah’s favour, nothing of certainty can be said about a knockout game.
When it comes to head-to-head between these two matches, the Fujairah team has won all of their four games in the past. In the last game, these two played against each other, the Fujairah team beat Abu Dhabi by a massive 46 runs. It was an all-around performance from the Fujairah team with a 50 from Usman Khan, 48 from Zeeshan Abid and 40 from Hamdan Tahir. Usman Khan also came up with two wickets to stop the Abu Dhabi run chase.
The Fujairah team has quality batting as well as bowling whereas the Abu Dhabi team is known to have a good bowling attack. Abu Dhabi’s plan would revolve around getting the Fujairah team out for a small total.
Abu Dhabi Probable XI: Attah ur Rahim, Ghulam Farid, Mohammad Kamran Atta (WK), Ali Abid(C), Muhammad Uzair Khan, Adnan Danish, Osama Hassan, Fayyaz Ahmed, Mazhar Bashir, Zia Mukhtar
Fujairah Probable XI: Muhammad Waseem (c), Hamdan Tahir (wk), Usman Khan, Rohan Mustafa, Asif Khan, Vishnu Sukumaran, Maroof Merchant, Kashif Daud, Umair Ali, Zahid Ali, Saqib Manshad
Pitch Report:
All Emirates D20 games have been played on the same International Academy ground in Dubai and so will be the final. This ground offers balanced behaviour and helps both batters as well as bowlers. The average score on the ground has dropped to 127 due to the low-scoring semi-finals, but a good batting side like Fujairah could certainly score a high total here. The weather report predicts broken clouds in the sky with a temperature of 32.41 degrees Celsius.
Head-to-Head:
Played – 4 | Abu Dhabi – 0 | Fujairah – 4 | No Result – 0 |
