STORY OF THE SEASON

It has been a hit and miss kind of season so far for the Abu Dhabi Knight Riders where they have won 2 out of their 5 games. However, the numbers don’t tell the full story as ADKR have fought it out and came close to victory in each of their games this year. With Sunil Narine and DJ Bravo at the helm of affairs, the Knight Riders will be looking forward to improving in certain areas and get on a roll in the tournament by winning consecutive games starting from the clash against MIE.

PLAYERS TO WATCH OUT FOR:

Kyle Mayers

While he has provided blazing starts at the top of the order, Kyle Mayers is yet to score the big one this season and his last innings was an indication that he might be onto something special. With shots all around the ground and that mighty Caribbean power, Mayers will be looking forward to scoring a big knock in this upcoming game against MIE and help ADKR pick up the important victory.

Andre Russell

Andre Russell’s last innings sparked a lot of interest with him smashing the MIE bowlers all around the park. Dre-Russ fought hard right till the end in the previous game with his mighty blows, however it wasn’t enough to secure the win. This time around, Russell will be looking to score another big innings to take his team to victory and help pick up two crucial points for ADKR.
