A stumble, a recovery, and now the time to get on a roll with the Abu Dhabi derby up next. It’s been a rollercoaster week for us MI Emirates fans, and brace up, it’s only going to get headier! These games are coming thick and fast, and let’s quickly grab our breaths back after the nerve-wracker we witnessed last night (January 21).
MI Emirates hold the head-to-head record in their favour over the Knight Riders, having won both their games in the 2023 season of the ILT20. The first one was a thriller, with the team needing seven off two balls to win, and DJ Bravo smoking back-to-back sixes off Andre Russell’s bowling to seal the deal. Both teams are squaring off here in 2024 on the back of a win. Time for something like this all over again?
