Desert Vipers are favorites to win
Dubai Capitals will take on Desert Vipers at the Dubai International Stadium. Match 20 of the 2022-23 ILT20 gets underway at 18:00 local time on Saturday 28th January.
The Capitals survived a scare in the last game, against Sharjah Warriors, when they fell to 17-4 before the rain arrived in Sharjah and no more play was possible. After winning their previous match, the Capitals have responded well to their poor start and are up to fifth, level on points with fourth, in the table.
Although the top order had a very poor first five overs against the Warriors, there are some excellent white ball batters in the Capitals team. Sri Lanka skipper Dasun Shanaka is yet to bring his international form to the team but captain Rovman Powell has hit 232 runs already in the tournament.
The bowling attack is where Dubai Capitals could struggle in this game and it is widely acknowledged that it is their weakest department. UAE pace bowler, Akif Raja, took two wickets in successive games against Gulf Giants and Sharjah Warriors and we expect him to be the biggest threat in this match.
Dubai Capitals lost their first three games in the tournament but are looking for their third successive match without defeat in this match.
It has been an excellent start to the competition for Desert Vipers who have slipped up only once in this tournament so far. They were beaten by five wickets by Gulf Giants in Match 12 but bounced back immediately with a seven wicket win over MI Emirates in Match 15.
Alex Hales continued his attack on all the bowlers in this competition with 62 unbeaten runs from 44 balls against MI Emirates. He has now hit 418 runs with no other batter beyond 232 so far. There were also runs for captain Colin Munro (41 runs) and Sherfane Rutherford (56) and they both come into this match in strong form.
England’s Tom Curran took 2-38 against MI Emirates with Sheldon Cottrell and Gus Atkinson both taking one wicket each. It will be tough going on this pitch for the bowling attack and the Vipers will be hoping that Wanindu Hasaranga comes back into form after going wicketless in the last game.
Desert Vipers have won four of their five matches in the tournament so far.
The match will be played at the Dubai International Stadium. Although we have seen a variety of scores at this venue, the wicket is one which favours the batting sides.

Hazratullah Zazai, Daniel Lawrence, Bhanuka Rajapaksa (wk), Rovman Powell (c), Yusuf Pathan, Sikandar Raza, Dasun Shanaka, Hazrat Luqman, Akif Raja, Fred Klaassen, Jake Ball
Rohan Mustafa, Alex Hales, Colin Munro (c), Sherfane Rutherford, Sam Billings (wk), Tom Curran, Wanindu Hasaranga, Ali Naseer, Gus Atkinson, Sheldon Cottrell, Matheesha Pathirana
This should be an excellent game between two teams who have sides packed with big-hitting batters. We expect Wanindu Hasaranga to be able to keep Dubai Capitals’ runs down in this match and are backing the consistent runs of Alex Hales to help Desert Vipers to win.
