"They’re a really good side. They are a formidable side with some formidable greats within that side. Sharjah, being a small ground, it’s going to be a high-scoring game, so it could be a nail-biter again," Uthappa added. 

Uthappa said how there will be some exciting match-ups in the match. "Rutu (Ruturaj) vs Siraj would be great, Rutu vs Jamieson would be another match-up that would be good to watch," he said. 

"MS vs Chahal and maybe even the death bowlers, some interesting match-ups," Uthappa added.
