Gulf Giants Playing XI vs Sharjah Warriors – ILT20 2025-26, Match 10:
Openers: Pathum Nissanka, Rahmanullah Gurbaz (WK)
The Gulf Giants will be looking to get back to winning ways after losing their previous match against Desert Vipers in the Super Over.
The Moeen Ali-led side has played three matches in the ongoing edition of the International League T20, winning two and losing one game.
The team will now face Sharjah Warriors in its next match at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium in Dubai. The team is looking for its first win this season, having lost both its matches so far.
Gulf Giants will open the batting with Pathum Nissanka and Afghan wicketkeeper batsman Rahmanullah Gurbaz, and will support both the batsmen in the first six overs to give the team a good start and score runs individually as well.
Middle-order batsmen and all-rounders: James Vince, Moeen Ali (captain), Azmatullah Omarzai, Gerhard Erasmus, Mark Adair, Liam Dawson.
When it comes to the Gulf Giants’ middle-order, it has a good mix of young and experienced batsmen who have the ability to win matches for the team in any situation.
Names in the Gulf giants’ middle order include team captain James Vince, Moeen Ali, all-rounder Azmatullah Omarzai and Namibian captain Gerhard Erasmus, who brings a rich sense of experience to the batting lineup.
The Gulf giants also have the services of Irish all-rounder Mark Adair and English all-rounder Liam Dawson, both of whom can contribute in at least two of the three departments of the game, providing stability to the team.
Having said that, the onus will be on the Gulf Giants’ top five batsmen to score most of the runs for the team so that they have a good chance of winning the game while batting first and chasing.
Bowlers: Haider Razzaq, Nuwan Thushara, Muhammad Zuhaib
If we talk about the bowling attack of Gulf Giants for the upcoming match against Sharjah Warriors, although it does not include big names but it can be a force to be reckoned with if the bowlers are able to execute their plans.
The Gulf Giants’ bowling lineup, which includes the likes of Moeen Ali, Azmatullah Omarzai, Mark Adair and Liam Dawson, is full of experience but can be inconsistent when it comes to T20 cricket.
Apart from the above mentioned names, bowlers like Haider Razzaq, Nuwan Thushara and Muhammad Zuhaib will also be supported to give their best and prevent the opposition batsmen from scoring freely.
The Gulf Giants bowlers will have to make a collective effort to increase their team’s chances of winning the game by controlling the Sharjah Warriors batsmen while bowling first and while defending.
