- Sharjah Warriors have a strong batting line-up, but their bowling has been inconsistent. They will need to bowl well to contain the explosive Abu Dhabi Knight Riders batsmen.
- Abu Dhabi Knight Riders have a balanced team, with a mix of power-hitters, spinners, and pacers. They will look to exploit the small boundaries of Sharjah and pile up a big score or chase down any target.
- Andre Russell, Sunil Narine, and Sean Williams are the top picks for the captain and vice-captain choices, as they can score runs and take wickets in any situation. Daniel Sams, David Willey, and Johnson Charles are the other players who can perform well and earn points.
