GGT vs MIE 18th Match Prediction

GGT vs MIE Team Previews

Gulf Giants

James Vince is the premier batter for the Gulf Giants and is also one of the highest scorers of IL T20 2023. He has been in stunning form and in the one match that he failed, the Gulf Giants were able to get just 130. The dependence of the batting lineup on Vince is something that we do not like. 

Rehan Ahmed, Chris Lynn, and Tom Banton are the other batters in the top order that are dangerous while Shimron Hetmyer, David Wiese, and Liam Dawson add a lot of quality to the middle. 

The number of all-rounders that are present in the bowling lineup also makes the bowling quite flexible. Rehan Ahmed, David Wiese, and Liam Dawson are all a part of the first-choice bowling unit. Richard Gleeson and Chris Jordan are the out-and-out bowlers that will lead the unit.

MI Emirates

The core of Nicholas Pooran, Kieron Pollard, and Najibullah Zadaran is what really makes MI Emirates dangerous. These three have been batting with ease and ensuring that the team gets to big totals in most cases. Here as well, the performances of Pollard have been way ahead of the rest. 

Looking at his performances in the last few months, this is something that is surprising and has certainly been a big bonus for MI Emirates. 

The bowling lineup is strong with Dwayne Bravo, Trent Boult, Samit Patel or Imran Tahir, and Fazalhaq Farooqi in the lineup. We think MI Emirates is a mote traditional kind of T20 lineup in comparison to the Gulf Giants but it also has an unbelievable amount of quality in its lineup.
