Preview:
The battle for the last two semi-final places is getting spicier as we near the end of Emirates D20 2020’s league phase. However, things are not as exciting at the top. Fujairah claimed the pole position right from their first match and they are still holding onto it with enormous ease.
They have outplayed every single team in this competition and have won all of their 8 games. Though not as comfortable, their opposition Dubai have also played good cricket in patches. With 4 wins from 8 games, they are sitting in the third position. Having said hat, they will still be desperate to win this game and avoid a last-minute scrap for the semi-final.
