Teams have enjoyed massive advantage because of dew. However, captains might just opt to bat as well as it is a day game and dew won’t be there till the final few overs of the match.

Desert Vipers Team News & Playing 11
VIP Team News
The Vipers have a very good team at disposal but somehow the results have not gone their way. The team can't make any random change just because they are losing. The Vipers are expected to play the same playing XI
VIP Key Players
- Alex Hales - Alex Hales has played knocks of 69 and 41 in the last three games. It seems that the batter is slowly finding his form. Hales’ return to form will be a huge boost for Vipers as he is one of the key batters of the side.
- Adam Hose - Adam Hose has been very consistent for Vipers in the tournament. He has batted at different positions but that has not deterred him from performing well for the side. He is yet to score a fifty but has played impactful knocks in almost every game. Hose has scored 138 runs in six games.
- Wanindu Hasaranga - Wanindu Hasaranga is doing what is known to do, picking crucial wickets for the side. Hasaranga has been the team's best bowler, taking nine wickets in six games. The team, however, will need some contribution from his bat as well.
VIP Team Form
The Vipers have been let down by the batters in ILT20 2024 who have failed to help the team post big runs on the board.
Desert Vipers Predicted Playing 11
Rohan Mustafa, Alex Hales, Colin Munro (c), Adam Hose, Wanindu Hasaranga, Azam Khan (wk), Ali Naseer, Shaheen Afridi, Luke Wood, Mohammad Amir, Matheesha Pathirana, Sherfane Rutherford (SUB)
Gulf Giants Team News & Playing 11
GUL Team News
Saurabh Netravalkar, Gerald Erasmus and Karim Janat should be in line to find a place in the playing XI. Changes look inevitable for the Giants who have been very ordinary so far.
GUL Key Players
- Chris Lynn - Chris Lynn has found his mojo back. The destructive batter has scored 63, 37 and 63 runs in his last three innings. Lynn looks set for a brutal innings anytime soon.
- Shimron Hetmyer - Shimron Hetmyer is batting too low down the order. Given his destructive skills, Hetmyer might promote himself at No.4 or 5, which will allow him to get more time at the crease. If he is in his zone, Hetmyer can alone win a game for his side.
- Mujeeb ur Rahman - The spinners are getting some grip from the surface given that the pitch is now exhausted. Dew has made life tough for bowlers but the next match won’t be affected by dew as it is a day game. Mujeeb bagged two wickets in the last game.
GUL Team Form
Gulf Giants' story is similar to Desert Vipers as they too have struggled because of lack of runs from the main batters in ILT20 2024.
Gulf Giants Predicted Playing 11
Jamie Smith (wk), James Vince (c), Jordan Cox, Shimron Hetmyer, Usman Khan, Carlos Brathwaite, Dominic Drakes/Karim Janat, Chris Jordan, Mujeeb Ur Rahman, Zuhaib Zubair/Saurabh Netravalkar, Richard Gleeson, Chris Lynn (SUB)
