Pre-Match Analysis:
Dubai Capitals will start their new era under the leadership of Aussie superstar David Warner who recently announced his retirement from Test and ODIs. They have signed some big names from all over the world featuring the likes of Sam Billings, Rahmanullah Gurbaz, Jason Holder, Rovman Powell, Sikandar Raza, etc. Roelof van der Merwe has turned down its SA20 League contract to participate in the ILT20 for Dubai Capitals. Dutch seamer Paul van Meekeren and Australian upcoming batter Jake Fraser McGurk are the newest entrants to the squad. Capitals finished 4th in the inaugural season last year and want to improve on their performances this time.
With Kieron Pollard taking the responsibility of the MI Cape Town in the SA20, the Mumbai-based franchise MI Emirates named hard-hitting batter Nicholas Pooran as their new skipper who had a sensational run in the first season, scoring 355 runs in 10 matches. Former Indian cricketer Ambati Rayudu who became a free agent after announcing his retirement from International will be the player to watch out for MI Emirates. Tim David, Corey Anderson, Trent Boult, and Dwayne Bravo aren’t new to the Mumbai franchise. They fell short in the 2nd Qualifier last season against Gulf Giants and are dreaming of lifting the title for the first time.
