Desert Vipers are favorites to win
Desert Vipers will take on Gulf Giants at the Dubai International Stadium. Match 12 of the 2022-23 ILT20 gets underway at 14:00 local time on Sunday 22nd January.
With three wins from their opening three games, it has been an excellent start to the ILT20 for Desert Vipers. Not only have they won all their matches but the side, coached by James Foster, have won by margins of 111 runs and seven wickets on two occasions.
England white ball specialist opener right-hander Alex Hales has top scored for Desert Vipers in all three of their matches. He hit 83 not out in the opening fixture against Sharjah Warriors and has followed up with 64 and 110 in both games against Abu Dhabi Knight Riders.
The Vipers have picked up 23 wickets across their three matches with some impressive bowling on display. Sri Lankan leg-spinner, Wanindu Hasaranga, took 3-18 on the same pitch which will be used for this game, against the Knight Riders in Match 7. He will be very tough to face in this clash.
Desert Vipers have been very strong in every game so far in the ILT20 and are targeting their fourth victory in a row.
Similar to their opponents in this game, the Giants have produced victories from their three games with large margins and with an English batter dominating the run charts. Their last victory was by 101 runs over Dubai Capitals on Thursday in Sharjah.
Alex Hales has been the star batter for Gulf Giants and has picked up two Player of the Match Awards from three games so far. He began the tournament in good form from his spell with Sydney Sixers in the BBL and has gone on to make scores of 65, 83 not out and 76.
This will be Gulf Giants second game at the Dubai International Stadium and it was England’s latest Test bowler, tennager Rehan Ahmed, who was their leading bowler last time. He took 3-28 and dismissed established white ball star batters Rovman Powell, Dasun Shanaka and Ravi Bopara.
Gulf Giants have had an excellent start to this new tournament and come into this game with a 100% record.
The match will be played at the Dubai International Stadium. There seems to be more spin on offer at this venue compared to the others and we expect a par score to be around 155-165.

It has been a brilliant start to the competition for both teams so far and we could well be in for a high quality and close contest in Dubai in this match. This game could come down to which of the key spinners on each side, Wanindu Hasaranga or Rehan Ahmed, perform the best. We are predicting a tight game but are backing Desert Vipers, with the experience of Hasaranga, to get the victory.
