Dubai vs ECB Blues, Emirates D10 League
ECB Blues will look to bounce back to winning ways when they take on Dubai in the Emirates D10 tournament. The match takes place at the ICC Academy, Dubai, on August 2 and the live action gets underway at 20:00 local time.
ECB Blues are packed with international players and favourites to win this tournament, but suffered their second defeat in seven games when they lost to in-form Sharjah last time out. They could only score 96/8 from ten overs, on their way to a heavy eight-wicket defeat and are now two points behind Sharjah overall.
Dubai have only played five matches by contrast, and they have won just two of them. Those wins were against Ajman and Abu Dhabi, though they were unlucky to lose to ECB Blues when they last met, given they tied the game but were beaten on boundary countback.
