ILT20 2024: Match 25, ABD vs SJH Match Prediction: Who will win today’s ILT20 match?

ABD vs SJH will lock horns in the match 25 of the ongoing edition of the International League T20 (ILT20) at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium, Abu Dhabi on Wednesday, February 7. The Knight Riders lost three out of their first five games. However, they are now on a three-match winning streak and are one victory away from booking their place in the playoffs. They have 10 points from eight games thus far.

Meanwhile, Sharjah Warriors are hanging by a thread in the competition as they still have a mathematical chance of progressing to the playoffs. They have lost five out of their eight games thus far. Their disappointing net run-rate of -2.019 is a huge reason for concern. The Warriors are on a three-match losing streak and will be desperate to get back to winning ways.

The Knight and the Warriors faced each other on Monday, February 5, in Sharjah. Tom Kohler-Cadmore’s men were bowled out for 75 before the Knights won by seven wickets, with 59 balls to spare.
