Pitch report: "Three games here and three different pitches. Was very windy the other day and players were struggling to take catches. There is a good balance between bat and ball because of the grass covering here, bowlers are having a good time with the new ball. It's not going to be very different to the other games that have happened here" say Ian Smith and Waqar Younis.

Teams:

Sunil Narine: You have to be willing to do either thing first, hopefully we can put up a score. We all know the quality of Salt, he played a wonderful innings, hopefully he can continue it as well. For a young guy, Sharafu is very mature, it's all about the team, he would obviously like to make a fifty but he himself said he's willing to do whatever is best for the team.

Sharjah Warriorz (Playing XI): Tom Kohler-Cadmore, Johnson Charles(w), Jason Roy, Rohan Mustafa, Karim Janat, Keemo Paul, Harmeet Singh, Adil Rashid, Muhammad Jawadullah, Tim Southee(c), Adam Milne

Tim Southee: We're going to bowl, pitch suggests it's pretty even the either way but we bowled the other night and it went our way so want to do the same. Have enjoyed captaincy so far. Was a great innings from TKC, great to see him show his experience. Great to see him Mustafa do well as well.

Abu Dhabi Knight Riders (Playing XI): Philip Salt(w), Kyle Mayers, Joe Clarke, Michael-Kyle Pepper, Alishan Sharafu, Andre Russell, Laurie Evans, Sunil Narine(c), Jason Holder, David Willey, Shahid Iqbal Bhutta

Sharjah Warriorz have won the toss and have opted to field

It’s nearly time for Match 6 of ILT20 2025. We’ve got the Abu Dhabi Knight Riders taking on the Sharjah Warriorz today. Just the second game for both these teams but they’ve started off quite differently. The Knight Riders went down to the Vipers a couple of days ago while the Warriorz won a nail-biter against the Giants. Tom Kohler-Cadmore starred for the Warriorz with a clutch 83* to see them home off the last ball in a 175-run chase. There’s no shortage of international stars at the ILT20 so expect another riveting contest tonight. Toss and playing XI updates coming up shortly.
