CS vs DC Team Previews

Central Stags

Will Young and Dean Foxcroft headline a strong Central Stags batting unit. Young brings international experience and classical technique. The opening batter hit a composed 35 runs in the team’s previous match. South African-born Foxcroft is a versatile batter who can adjust his tempo to the match situation. The opening batter has almost 1500 T20 runs.

Designated wicketkeeper Dane Cleaver top-scored for the team in the Super Smash final. The top order batter played a superb knock of 43 runs. Captain Tom Bruce has not been short of time at the crease. He put on a hefty 345 runs for the Central Stags in a first-class game recently.

William Clark and Curtis Heaphy add youthful flair to the batting group. Clark has 323 runs and four wickets in T20s. Heaphy’s previous innings was 71 for New Zealand A.

Josh Clarkson is a hard-hitting middle-order batter who can change the course of a match within a few overs. He hit back-to-back first-class centuries for the Stags earlier this season. Matthew Forde is a Barbadian recruit who brings local knowledge of the West Indian conditions. In the CPL, the bowling all-rounder has 18 wickets.

Blair Tickner’s pace and bounce will rattle top-order batters in seaming conditions. The tall fast bowler showed his experience with one for 17 in four overs of the Stags’ efforts in the Super Smash. Ajaz Patel brings international experience and guile as a left-arm spinner.

Patel has taken 11 wickets for New Zealand in seven T20Is. Jayden Lennox has a great portfolio of work domestically. The left-arm spinner has more than 50 wickets in domestic T20s.

Dubai Capitals

Alishan Sharafu has been a standout performer in the UAE. The young opening batter’s most recent innings was 68 not out for the UAE in a T20I against Bangladesh. Sediqullah Atal recently made his IPL debut. The left-handed opener hit 22 runs for Delhi Capitals against Punjab Kings. Middle-order firepower includes Pakistan international Haider Ali.

The youngster opened his PSL 2025 with 33 runs against Multan Sultans. Bevon Jacobs is coming off a lengthy stretch at the crease with 157 and 32 not out for Auckland in his previous match. That being a Plunket Shield first-class match. Syed Haider offers lower order batting depth. He hit his highest T20I score of 47 against Cambodia towards the end of last year.

Jamaican all-rounder Rovman Powell came through when his team needed him most in the ILT20 final. Powell rocketed to 63 runs off 38 balls to rip the hearts out of any hopes that Desert Vipers had. Kadeem Alleyne is a useful batting all-rounder capable of quick cameos lower down.

The West Indian understands conditions, having played for three different CPL franchises. Dominic Drakes was recently in the USA for the MLC tournament with Los Angeles Knight Riders. He took a wicket in his one match of the tournament.

Pacer Farhan Khan took a commendable four wickets in the ILT20. Canadian Kaleem Sana has had some frightening T20 spells recently. The left-arm pacer has six wickets in his past two T20Is for the national team. Zeeshan Naseer adds variety. The pacer took one for 20 for Team Abu Dhabi in the Abu Dhabi T10.

Dubai Capitals Expected Playing 11

CS vs DC Toss Prediction

Both teams won their previous match by chasing. They should have no issues deciding to bowl first even though this is a day game.

Pitch Report and Weather Conditions

The pitch at Providence Stadium in Guyana is generally slow and spin-friendly, presenting a stern test for batters. Early in the game, there might be initial movement for fast bowlers. It's the spinners who can take control with the surface providing sharp turn and grip if the surface dries up.

The unpredictable bounce could be a factor for the batters to consider. Central Stags chased a target of 136 in the 18th over of their previous T20 match.

There is a 44 percent chance of rain during this day match. The tropical conditions will also feature some warm temperatures in the high 20s degrees Celsius and a humidity level above 90 percent.

CS vs DC: Who Will Win?

This would largely depend on the players currently on form. The teams wouldn’t have played much cricket since wrapping up their own domestic T20 tournaments. The Stags are blessed to have a few more players currently in T20 form to put them in the driver’s seat for this one. The Dubai Capitals are likely to challenge them but we expect them to fall short.

Bet on the Central Stags to win this match.

CS vs DC win percentage stands at 58% in favor of CS.
