Pre-Match Analysis:
Desert Vipers are badly in need of a win to stay in the Playoffs race. They lost to MI Emirates convincingly by 30 runs on Sunday despite a fighting knock from Ali Naseer who scored 63* runs. They looking forward to conquering Dubai back following their close margin of loss to Dubai Capitals early on. It’s not going to be easy as they will be without their key players Wanindu Hasaranga and Sherfane Rutherford due to their National commitments. The good news is that England Internationals Phil Salt and Sam Curran have joined the side and are available for the rest of the tournament. Dan Lawrence is also available for the next two matches after taking a break between the 2nd and 3rd Tests of the ongoing England tour of India. The pressure is mounting on them to deliver this time to keep their playoff chances alive. They stay at the 5th spot in the standings with 6 points.
Dubai Capitals too faces a shortage of their key players due to coinciding with the International fixtures as a result they will be without Rahmanullah Gurbaz, Rovman Powell, Jason Holder, Dushmantha Chameera, and skipper David Warner. They have signed Scotland striker George Munsey and England wicketkeeper batter Tom Banton as replacements. Either Sikandar Raza or Sam Billings is likely to lead the side in the remainder of the tournament. Capitals are not in a great position having lost their previous two matches against Gulf Giants and Abu Dhabi Knight Riders. Overall with 3 wins and 5 losses, they are placed at the bottom of the standings with 6 points. It’s a must-win match for them to stay in the playoff contention.
