Abu Dhabi Knight Riders (ADKR) are all set to face Gulf Giants (GG) in match No. 19 of the ongoing International League T20 (ILT20) 2025-26 at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi on Thursday, December 18.

The Knight Riders finally managed to break their four-match losing streak after beating table-toppers Desert Vipers by one run on Tuesday. Jason Holder and Co. would want to build on this performance and add more wins in the games to come, as they are still languishing at the foot of the table.

On the other hand, the Gulf Giants find themselves at No. 2 on the points table. They have three wins and as many defeats after playing six games. However, the James Vince-led side is coming into this clash on the back of consecutive defeats.
