Gulf Giants vs Abu Dhabi Knight Riders Match Winner Prediction

Despite a not so great form for the Gulf Giants, the Abu Dhabi Knight Riders can’t be trusted. It is a team that lacks squad balance and captain Sunil Narine has failed consistently as the leader. The bowling don’t have any big name while Phil Salt have departed the team. The Gulf Giants have still done better as a team compare to the Knight Riders, so pick the Gulf Giants to win this match.
