Desert Vipers are favorites to win
Dubai Capitals will take on Desert Vipers at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium. Match 25 of the 2022-23 ILT20 gets underway at 18:00 local time on Thursday 2nd February.
Although the Capitals are next to bottom in the table, they are six points above Abu Dhabi Knight Riders and only three points behind Gulf Giants in second place. They had a convincing seven wicket win with 14 balls remaining against the Knight Riders on Monday.
A combination of four attacking batters in Dubai Capitals’ top four got the job done in Monday’s game with Scotland’s George Munsey top scoring with 57 runs from 43 balls. Niroshan Dickwella had the highest strike-rate (168.18) with captain Rovman Powell at the crease with 21 not out to see the team home.
Australian spinner Adam Zampa has been in fantastic form since joining up with Dubai Capitals under a week ago. He is disappointed that he did not make Australia’s Test squad in India but has channeled his energies into his performances in this tournament.
Dubai Capitals are looking up the table after losing only one of their last four matches.
Top of the table Desert Vipers come into this match looking to avoid their first successive defeat of the tournament. They didn’t just lose their last game, they were thrashed by 157 runs by MI Emirates after being dismissed for 84. It will be very interesting to see how they respond in this clash.
Alex Hales’ poor run of form continued on Tuesday and he has now scored only 20 runs from his last three innings combined after hitting four half-centuries and a century in his first five innings of the tournament. The Vipers have plenty of run scorers throughout their team.
Defending a target of 149, Sri Lankan spinner Wanindu Hasaranga produced an excellent spell of bowling in Sharjah, picking up three wickets and taking the Player of the Match Award. Luke Wood picked up his first wickets of the tournament and seems to have developed his T20 wicket taking ability over the last few months.
Desert Vipers responded well to their heavy defeat in Match 21 and have now won three of their last four games.
The match will be played at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium. Spin bowlers troubled the batters in the last game on this pitch and we expect more of the same with a par score no higher than 150.

Dubai Capitals are playing much better cricket than they were at the start of the tournament but we still expect them to come out second best against Desert Vipers. At the top of the table, the Vipers have lost only two matches all campaign and are even picking up wins without many runs from Alex Hales. We expect a close contest but are backing Desert Vipers to win.
