DC vs GG Betting Tips
Pathum Nissanka to score Over 22.5 runs
Pathum Nissanka is making his ILT20 debut this season and started with an excellent half-century. He has plenty of experience playing in the T20 format and comes into this series on the back of some impressive performances in the international arena. We are backing him to play another good knock here.
Highest opening partnership - Gulf Giants
Pathum Nissanka and Rahmanullah Gurbaz are both quality batsmen and have an excellent record in the T20 format. As they face a relatively out-of-form seam attack of the Dubai Capitals, we expect them to give the Giants a solid start.

DC vs GG Team Previews
Dubai Capitals
The defending champions didn’t get the start they would have hoped for, as they were defeated by the Desert Vipers in the inaugural match. However, these are early days in the tournament, and the Capitals will bounce back soon.
The Capitals are likely to continue with the opening pair of Sediqullah Atal and Shayan Jahangir in this match. The duo gave Dubai a decent start in the previous match, but at least one of them needs to stay longer. The middle order has a couple of explosive batsmen in Jordan Cox and Rovman Powell.
Both of them have plenty of experience playing in this format and can play the big shots with ease. In addition, the Capitals also have some good all-rounders like Gulbadin Naib, Mohammad Nabi, and Dasun Shanaka.
The Dubai Capitals’ bowling wasn’t up to the mark in the previous match and was one of the key reasons for the team’s defeat. Scott Currie, Muhammad Jawadullah, and David Willey were all very expensive and will need to bowl a better line and length.
The spinners did a better job in comparison, with Waqar Salamkheil and Haider Ali, both bowling well during the middle overs.
Dubai Capitals Expected Playing 11
Sediqullah Atal, Shayan Jahangir, Rovman Powell, Jordan Cox, Gulbadin Naib, Mohammad Nabi, Dasun Shanaka (C), Muhammad Jawadullah, Haider Ali, Waqar Salamkheil, David Willey

Gulf Giants
The Gulf Giants scored a comprehensive victory over MI Emirates in their opening match of the season. The win not only gave them two important points but also boosted their NRR.
Pathum Nissanka was in red-hot form at the top of the order as he scored a brisk half-century. The team will need him to continue playing well and give them yet another solid start. Nissanka will be joined by Rahmanullah Gurbaz as his opening partner, while Asif Khan and Tom Moores will add heft to the middle order.
The Gulf Giants have some experienced all-rounders coming in lower down the order, including Moeen Ali, Gerhard Erasmus, and Azmatullah Omarzai. They are all capable of contributing with the bat and the ball.
The seamers did an excellent job in the previous match, with Nuwan Thushara and Omarzai picking up two wickets each. They were supported by Matthew Forde and Haider Razzaq. The Gulf Giants also have two experienced spinners in Tabraiz Shamsi and Moeen Ali, who round off the bowling attack.
Gulf Giants Expected Playing 11
Pathum Nissanka, Rahmanullah Gurbaz (WK), Azmatullah Omarzai, Moeen Ali (C), Gerhard Erasmus, Tom Moores, Nuwan Thushara, Matthew Forde, Tabraiz Shamsi, Haider Razzaq, Liam Dawson
DC vs GG Toss Prediction
The team winning the toss will likely opt to bowl first.
Pitch Report and Weather Conditions
The pitch in Dubai isn’t the easiest to bat on. The new ball will move around a bit, and the seamers will be able to extract some movement off the seam if they pitch the ball in the right areas. While things do even out as the innings progress, anything over 180 could get tricky to chase. Batting in the second half is slightly easier thanks to the dew factor.
The weather is likely to remain warm and humid with no chance of rain.
DC vs GG: Who Will Win?
We are backing the Gulf Giants to win this match. They were clinical in their performance during the first match, doing well with the bat and the ball. The team has a strong batting line-up and a well-balanced bowling unit, giving them an edge.
Bet on Gulf Giants to win.
