Meanwhile, Desert Vipers have been inconsistent too. The team has also played five games, winning two and losing three. The Vipers, however, managed to beat MI Emirates in the last game.

DUB vs VIP Match Toss Prediction
Captains have preferred bowling after winning the toss given the dew. Capitals tried batting first in the previous game but they were thrashed so it is almost certain that captain winning the toss will bowl first.
DUB vs VIP Pitch Report
The pitch has very little on offer for the bowlers. It is slightly on the slower side but dew allows the ball to skid from the surface, making it easy for the batters. We could be in for another high scoring game.
Dubai Weather Report
It’s rare but there are chances of rain in Dubai on the match day. The precipitation chances stand at 75 per cent. The temperature will range between 21 and 25 degrees.

Dubai Capitals Team News & Playing 11
DUB Team News
Jake Frazer McGurk has been included in Australia’s squad for the ODI series vs West Indies so he will miss significant matches for the side. Meanwhile, Shamar Joseph has been ruled out of the tournament due to a toe injury.
DUB Key Players
- Rahmanullah Gurbaz - Gurbaz started the ILT20 2024 in fine fashion but has been out of touch since then. The Capitals will now be very tense about the form of their main batters. Gurbaz is a quality batter and it is rare to see him go so many matches without scoring. Maybe, a big one is loading anytime soon.
- Sikandar Raza - Sikandar Raza has been the most consistent batter for the side so far. While he is yet to score a fifty, he has played at least three decent innings for his team, including two knocks of 40+ scores. He is also a handy option with the ball.
- Dushmantha Chameera - Dushmantha Chameera can swing the ball at pace and can create trouble for batters if he puts the ball in right area. However, bowling in dew is not easy for the bowlers.
DUB Team Form
The team has been let down by the batters. Despite having a strong team on paper, the batting from Capitals have been very ordinary.
Dubai Capitals Predicted Playing 11
David Warner (c), Rahmanullah Gurbaz (wk), Sam Billings, Ben Dunk, Sikandar Raza, Rovman Powell, Max Holden, Haider Ali Jason Holder, Roelof van der Merwe, Akif Raja, Dushmantha Chameera (SUB)
Desert Vipers Team News & Playing 11
VIP Team News
The Vipers defeated MI Emirates in the last game and that should be a big confidence booster. The team got Ali Naseer and Amir back in the playing XI for the previous game thus they should stick to the same combination for the next game as well.
VIP Key Players
- Alex Hales - Alex Hales scored 61 against Sharjah Warriors but endured a poor outing against MIE. Hales has been inconsistent and that should be a concern for Vipers, however, he is a match winner and will be aware that he needs to find form soon.
- Azam Khan - Azam Khan has looked good in the last two matches. He has scores of 35 and 20 in previous two innings. The batter can be destructive on his day thus we are expecting Azam to play a good innings anytime soon.
- Wanindu Hasaranga - Hasaranga has been excellent with the ball. He has taken seven wickets in five matches at an incredible economy of less than 7. Hasaranga can contribute with the bat as well but he is yet to hit peak form, something the team would expect him to do as we move to the second half of the tournament.
VIP Team Form
The team has not performed as per expectations. The batters have been at fault as none has been able to deliver consistent performances.
Desert Vipers Predicted Playing 11
Colin Munro (c), Adam Hose, Wanindu Hasaranga, Azam Khan (wk), Ali Naseer, Sherfane Rutherford, Shaheen Afridi, Mohammad Amir, Rohan Mustafa, Luke Wood, Matheesha Pathirana, Alex Hales (SUB)

We suggest backing Desert Vipers to win. The Vipers have a lot of quality in the team and if they play to their potential, they can be tough to beat. The team will be high on confidence after a win over MI Emirates in last game.
🏆 Dubai Capitals vs Desert Vipers Prediction
There is very little to choose from teams in terms of their performance in the tournament. However, on paper, Desert Vipers stand out. The team also defeated a strong MIE in the last game. They have batters who can change the course of the game in no time and definitely have more depth in batting. The likes of Mohammed Amir, Shaheen Afridi, Wanindu Hasaranga and Matheesha Pathirana make up for a strong bowling attack as well. Back Vipers to win.
