Pre-Match Analysis:
It’s time for Dubai Capitals to bounce back as things didn’t go their way in the last two matches against Gulf Giants and Sharjah Warriors where they lost by 3 wickets and 9 wickets respectively. Interestingly both the losses came away from home at Sharjah where the batters failed to live up to the expectations managing only 132 and 104. They got trapped for spin and pace against Warriors and faltered in the end for a paltry 104 runs and the contest was ended with 41 balls to spare. Their run rate has taken a hit and they have been pushed down to 5th spot in the standings.
Desert Vipers needed a win badly and that came at the right time for them when they secured a 2 wickets win in the cliffhanger against table toppers MI Emirates on Tuesday. Chasing a moderate 150 runs, they were reduced to 62 for 5, and later Wanindu Hasaranga, Sherfane Rutherford, and Shaheen Afridi kept them in the hunt as a result they got home in the end on the final delivery of the match. With this win, they still stay at the bottom of the standings with 4 points. Their bowling unit is one of the best in the competition having the likes of Mohammad Amir, Shaheen Afridi, Matheesha Pathirana, Luke Wood, and Wanindu Hasaranga.
