Preview

Gulf Giants (GG) are all set to take on Sharjah Warriors (SWR) in the third game of the International League T20 2025, slated to take place on January 12 at Dubai International Stadium. The two teams are playing their first game of the tournament and aim to kick off their journey with a thrilling win to bolster their rankings since the start of the showpiece event. Both sides boast a strong squad and exceptional qualities and are keen to start their tournament with a victory heading into this game.

Notably, the GG had a stellar season back in 2024 before the side suffered a nine-wicket defeat against the Dubai Capitals in Qualifier 2. James Vince and his men finished at the second spot of the points table with six wins and four losses. The side will be looking to maintain their dominating form heading into the new season as they aim to once place into the knock-out thrillers.

On the other hand, SWR had a horrendous season in 2024. They failed to make it to the playoffs after finishing at the bottom spot of the points table. The side was just able to win four matches and suffered defeat in the six matches. However, they will be looking to mark their comeback in the 2025 season.
