MI Emirates (MIE) will take on Sharjah Warriorz (SWR) in Match 28 of the DP World ILT20 2025, at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi, on January 2. After tasting two consecutive losses, MI Emirates managed to win back-to-back games to see themselves in the second spot in the points table. They would like to cement their spot by aiming for playoffs with a win against Sharjah.
On the other hand, the middle of the tournament created problems for Warriorz, as they lost four games on the trot. They have made a resounding comeback winning their last two games by some big margins. As their Net Run Rate (NRR) is -0.541, they have no other option than winning their fixture against Emirates and making it to playoffs.
