Let us have a closer look.
DBC vs MIE Team Previews
Dubai Capitals
Dubai Capitals managed to get to a pretty good total in their previous match against the Sharjah Warriors thanks to an excellent 80 not out from Joe Root. Those runs came off 54 deliveries and so the pace of scoring was not the fastest but it helps to have a player like Root in good form.
Robin Uthappa has slowed down after a good start to the IL T20 2023 season and Dan Lawrence has not been very fluent either. Rovman Powell has scored runs consistently in the middle and is definitely a danger player from this match onward.
The bowling unit had a tough match as they were unable to defend the total and were very expensive. Mujeeb ur Rahman went for 44 runs in his two overs but every other bowler had an economy rate of greater than 10.

MI Emirates
MI Emirates seemed all but certain to face their first defeat of the IL T20 2023 season but an unbelievable inning of 35 from 17 balls from Najibullah Zadran helped them get over the line. Dwayne Bravo scored 15 off 6 and was instrumental in helping MI reach the target.
Most of the batters are in good form for MI Emirates. Nicholas Pooran, Andre Fletcher, Kieron Pollard, and Will Smeed form a very strong batting lineup that should be able to get enough runs to challenge the other team in most matches. With respect to the Dubai Capitals, we think the MI Emirates has a bit of an advantage in this aspect.
MI Emirates did not have a great bowling performance in their previous match but they have done quite well in previous matches. Imran Tahir, Trent Boult, and Dwayne Bravo are reliable and one bad performance should not worry you.
