Sunil Narine: Wouldn't have minded batting or bowling. When you lose games, there is a temptation to chnage the combination. But you want to back your players too. Few changes - Salt is out, Gous is in, and Pepper is in.
James Vince: Will have a bowl first. It is a good pitch and we reckon chasing out here. There is some confidence from that previous win.

Gulf Giants have won the toss and have opted to field
5:10 PM Local Time: We are back in the Ring of Fire tonight for the ILT20 game between Gulf Giants and Abu Dhabi Knight Riders. Both these sides are stuck in a mid-table muddle as well, having had identical seasons so far. They both have won once and lost two games. The Gulf Giants won their previous game, while ADKR lost the last time around they were in action against the Desert Vipers. We should have a good game in store tonight, and the toss isn’t too far away. Stick around!
