Abu Dhabi Knight Riders Betting Analysis

Abu Dhabi Knight Riders overcame Sharjah Warriorz last time out and a key player for them was West Indies all-rounder Jason Holder. The experienced Barbadian racked up four wickets in a 30-run victory for the Knight Riders and such a performance will have given him momentum that he can take with him moving forward as the tournament goes on. Therefore, back him to gain another 2+ wickets here.
