Sheikh Zayed Stadium has produced an average first-innings score of around 116 in this tournament. Therefore, teams will need to make strong starts and finish their innings effectively to post competitive totals. Royal Desert Champions will look to build on their recent victory through Rutherford, Waseem and Pooran. Meanwhile, United Tigers will depend on Fakhar Zaman, Iftikhar Ahmed and their all-rounders to deliver a stronger performance. Although the Tigers have a better tournament record and a much healthier net run rate, the Champions can take confidence from their latest win. United Tigers hold a slight advantage based on their overall tournament form, but Royal Desert Champions have enough batting firepower to make this a competitive contest.
