Sharjah Warriorz and Dubai Capitals face off at Sharjah Cricket Stadium on December 19, 2025. Both teams have four points and really need a win to keep their playoff chances alive. Sharjah Warriorz won two out of five matches, while Dubai Capitals won the same number in six games.

Neither team has found much consistency. Sharjah Warriorz looked sharp early on, but then slipped up against Abu Dhabi Knight Riders and Gulf Giants. Tom Kohler-Cadmore has been holding their batting together, with Tim David adding some punch in the middle order. Adam Milne and Adil Rashid take charge with the ball.

Dubai Capitals started with a nail-biting one-run win, but things went downhill in a 26-run loss to MI Emirates. Shai Hope smashed a brilliant century, but didn’t get much help from his teammates. David Warner and Gulbadin Naib are the heart of their batting lineup, and they rely on Obed McCoy and Dushmantha Chameera with the ball.

Toss Prediction

Sharjah’s pitch really suits teams chasing. All five matches here this season were won by the side batting second. The bounce is true, boundaries are short—just 62 to 65 meters—and while fast bowlers get some movement up front, the batters usually take over once they’re set.

Put up 170-plus, and you’ve got a decent shot at defending, but chasing is still the safer bet. Expect the captain who wins the toss to bowl first and go after the target.
