Team Previews
Fujairah (FUJ)
Fujairah have had a turbulent tournament so far – they’ve secured only one win in multiple outings. Their batting has lacked consistency and the bowlers haven’t managed to apply sustained pressure. Key players like Yasin Patel (wicket-keeper/batsman) and Ravinderpal Singh (all-rounder) will need to step up if they want to upset Emirates Blues. The onus is on FUJ to find momentum quickly.
Emirates Blues (EMB)
Emirates Blues are among the frontrunners in the tournament table. They combine a strong batting lineup with effective bowling options and are comfortable at Sharjah. Players like Alishan Sharafu and Shehan Dilshan have shown promising form, making EMB the team to beat in this matchup.

Top Fantasy Picks
- Alishan Sharafu (EMB) – Aggressive top-order batter with big strike-rate and ability to rack up fantasy points.
- Yasin Patel (FUJ) – Wicket-keeper/batsman who should be involved in most innings if FUJ chase or bat aggressively.
- Mohammad Nadeem (EMB) – All-rounder who contributes with both bat and ball; high fantasy value.
- Sandeep Singh (FUJ) – Can bowl and bat; ideal differential pick given FUJ’s need to pull up their effort.
Captain & Vice-Captain Suggestions
- Captain: Alishan Sharafu – Safe bet for maximum returns given form and match-ups.
- Vice-Captain: Yasin Patel – Allows an underdog angle while still picking a high-involvement player.
Match Prediction
Emirates Blues (EMB) hold a clear advantage in this fixture. With FUJ’s inconsistent form and EMB’s momentum, expect EMB to win by 6-8 wickets if chasing, or by 25-30 runs if they bat first. FUJ may attempt to fight but the odds favour EMB.
Fantasy & Strategy Tips
- Pitch & Conditions: Sharjah generally offers decent batting conditions early on, but bowlers can bite in middle-overs. Use a mix of batters and bowlers accordingly.
- Balanced Team Approach: Since EMB are favourites, pick 5-6 players from EMB, and add 4-5 from FUJ for value/payout potential.
- Risk-Managed Differentials: Including one or two FUJ players (like Sandeep Singh or Yasin Patel) can differentiate your team while hedging on the favourite team.
- Monitor toss and bowling first decision: Team batting first might aim big (180+), so prefer chasing batsmen if EMB field first.
- Keep one slot for last-minute change: In leagues like Emirates D20 there can be surprise changes.
Conclusion
In the FUJ vs EMB showdown (Match 27 of Emirates D20 2025), Emirates Blues look primed for another win, but Fujairah have nothing to lose and may throw up some fireworks. For fantasy cricket enthusiasts, prioritise EMB stars for stability, and sprinkle a couple of FUJ picks for upside. With smart captain/vice-captain calls and a balanced squad, this match could deliver strong returns.
