Royal Desert Champions vs United Tigers prediction

United Tigers are coming off another strong display, posting the highest total of the tournament so far as they racked up 143-5 in their 10 overs. They smashed 10 sixes in some serious hitting, and Emirates Eagles could only get within 24 runs of their total.

They come into the sixth round of matches sitting top of the table and take on Royal Desert Champions, who have managed only two wins from their five matches so far.

One of those wins came on Friday, when they beat Yas Lions by 39 runs as their batting finally clicked. After losing their first three matches, they have now won their last two, and it was their West Indian contingent firing on all cylinders once again, with Brandon King smashing 66 off 28 balls and skipper Nicholas Pooran adding 26 off 11 balls.

On paper, Royal Desert Champions arguably look the stronger team, and with their batters finally finding some form, we are backing them to upset the leaders and make it three wins in a row.
