Best score after first 6 overs Desert Vipers
The Desert Vipers have a strong top order that has scored at least 46 runs during the Powerplay in 3 of their 4 matches. As they face an out-of-form bowling attack of the Capitals, we are backing them to score plenty of runs during the Powerplay.
Highest individual score Under 68.5
While the pitch in Dubai is good to bat on, only 2 of the last 13 matches played here have seen an individual score of 69 or more runs. As a result, we are predicting a similar outcome in this match as well.
The Desert Vipers will look to extend their unbeaten run in the ongoing ILT20 as they play against the Dubai Capitals. The two teams will play at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium on Monday.
Dubai Capitals vs Desert Vipers Head-to-Head Record
The two teams have played 2 matches against each other and the Dubai Capitals have won both those games.

DC vs DV Team Previews
Dubai Capitals
The Dubai Capitals won their opening fixture against MI Emirates but their form has dipped since then. The Capitals have lost 3 matches on the trot and are languishing at the bottom of the points table. They also have the worst NRR among all teams.
Shai Hope is the leading run-scorer of the tournament and will be the key batsman for the Capitals in this match. He will likely open the batting alongside Ben Dunk. The team has a plethora of all-rounders in its squad including world-class players like Sikandar Raza, Brandon McMullen, Gulbadin Naib, Dasun Shanaka, and Scott Kuggeleijn.
They not only provide depth to the batting but are also excellent bowlers who can turn the tide in the teamās favor. Gulbadin Naib is the teamās leading wicket-taker with 6 wickets and will be joined by Olly Stone, Obed McCoy, and Farhan Khan in the pace department.
Sikandar Raza and Haider Ali are the two spinners but they havenāt had much success.

Desert Vipers
The Desert Vipers are on a roll this season and have won all their four games. As a result, they are sitting pretty at the top of the points table and enjoy the best NRR among all teams.
The Vipersā latest win came on Saturday against Abu Dhabi Knight Riders, whom they defeated by a huge margin of 53 runs. Alex Hales and Fakhar Zaman have been consistent as an opening pair and have given the team some good starts.
The middle order has some strong T20 performers like Sam Curran, Dan Lawrence, and Sherfane Rutherford, all of whom have contributed with the bat. Sam Curran is the leading run-scorer for the Vipers with 155 runs scored at an average of 77.50. Lockie Ferguson missed the previous match due to a niggle and details regarding his availability are awaited.
In his absence, Mohammad Amir and Luke Wood are likely to start the proceedings with the new ball and will be joined by Sam Curran. The Vipers have a strong spin attack led by Wanindu Hasaranga who will be supported by Dhruv Parashar and Nathan Sowter.

DC vs DV Toss Prediction
The team winning the toss will likely opt to bat first.
Pitch and Conditions
The pitch at Dubai is usually good to bat on. The surface is hard and flat and the ball comes nicely onto the bat. There is very little movement for the fast bowlers and they will have to be accurate with their line and length. A score of around 180 is a par score on this surface. The pitch slows down a bit in the second half and the spinners will get some purchase and turn from the pitch.
The weather will be pleasant with temperatures of around 21 degrees.
DC vs DV Betting Tips
The Desert Vipers have been clinical in their performance this season and have excelled in all departments. The team has a strong batting line-up that has plenty of depth and a well-balanced bowling attack. We are therefore backing them to win this game.
Bet on the Desert Vipers to win.
