Desert Vipers Team News & Playing 11
VIP Team News
This is a very important game for the Vipers and the team won't take risk of making many changes to the combination. We expect the Vipers to play an unchanged playing XI as Impact player will allow them to use a player of their choice as per game situation.
VIP Key Players
- Alex Hales - Alex Hales has been the best batter for Vipers this season. Even though he hasn't set the stage on fire and just scored 195 runs, expectations will be high from him as scored 49 when the two teams last met.
- Wanindu Hasaranga - Wanindu Hasaranga is a match winner for Vipers. He hasn't contributed much with the bat but he has been exceptional with the ball, taking 12 wickets in eight games. Hasaranga's four overs will be crucial for the Vipers.
- Mohammad Amir - Mohammad Amir has led the team's bowling attack well. The left arm pacer has been tough to face and gave early breakthroughs to the Vipers. Amir has taken 11 wickets in seven matches so far.
VIP Team Form
The Vipers have been very inconsistent this season of ILT20 2024, winning just three and losing five. The prime reason for the miserable display has been the lack of runs from the main batters.
Desert Vipers Predicted Playing 11
Rohan Mustafa, Alex Hales, Colin Munro (c), Azam Khan (wk), Wanindu Hasaranga, Adam Hose, Ali Naseer, Mohammad Amir, Luke Wood, Matheesha Pathirana, Nathan Sowter, Sherfane Rutherford (SUB)
Dubai Capitals Team News & Playing 11
DUB Team News
David Warner won't be available for the Capitals as he is part of the T20I series vs West Indies. Ben Dunk can replace him in the playing XI while Vriitya Aravind can come in place of Rahmanullag Gurbaz, who is likely to miss the game due to ODI series vs Sri Lanka.
DUB Key Players
- Ben Dunk- Dunk will have to be at the best of his abilities if a depleted Dubai Capitals have to make a turnaround. Dunk scored a fifty when the two teams last met so he will be an important batter of the team.

- Olly Stone - Olly Stone had a great game against theGiants and picked four wickets for 14 runs. He'll be eyeing another impactful performance in the next match.
