James Vince to score Under 22.5 runs
James Vince hasn’t been consistent this year. Barring his half-century against the Vipers, Vince has been dismissed for a score of 14 runs or lower in 3 of his last 4 innings. As he faces a good bowling of the Capitals, we feel that he will be unable to play a big knock.
Total wickets Over 13.5
The pitch at Dubai is balanced and bowlers who bowl a good line and length will be rewarded. Each of the last 3 games played here has seen at least 14 wickets fall and we are likely to see that trend continue.
The Gulf Giants will look to get themselves off the bottom of the table as they face the Dubai Capitals for match number 16 of the ongoing ILT20. The two teams will play at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium on Thursday.
Dubai Capitals vs Gulf Giants Head-to-Head Record
The two teams have faced each other in 4 matches. The Gulf Giants have won 3, while the Dubai Capitals have won once.

Dubai Capitals
Fresh off a brilliant win against the Desert Vipers, the Dubai Capitals have climbed up to the 4th place on the points table. As we enter the second half of the group stages, the team will be eager to continue the winning momentum.
The Dubai Capitals are likely to open their batting with Ben Dunk and Shai Hope. While Dunk hasn’t been in the best of forms, Shai Hope has played some excellent cricket and is the leading run-scorer of the season.
Gulbadin Naib and Brandon McMullen have played some good knocks in the middle order. Along with Sikandar Raza, Rovman Powell, and Najibullah Zadran, they make up for a strong batting unit.
Coming to the bowling, the seamers have done an excellent job. Gulbadin Naib and Dushmantha Chameera have picked up 7 wickets each, while Obed McCoy has picked up 4 wickets. The spin attack will be led by Zahir Khan and Haider Ali.

Gulf Giants
With just one win in 4 games, the Gulf Giants are struggling at the moment and are placed at the bottom of the points table.
Adam Lyth and James Vince will open the batting for the Giants in this match. James Vince has got some decent starts in his 4 innings and has also scored a half-century. However, the team will need him to be consistent going ahead.
Adam Lyth on the other hand has struggled against the new ball. In the middle order, Jordan Cox and Ibrahim Zadran have failed to get going and that has put pressure on the batsmen coming lower down. Shimron Hetmeyer and Gerhard Erasmus are two strong players coming in during the death overs and could make a big difference if they get going.
The bowlers have fared better in comparison. Mark Adair is the team’s leading wicket-taker with 7 wickets and has received good support from Blessing Muzarabani. Aayan Afzal Khan, who has picked up 6 wickets will lead the spin department.
Gulf Giants Expected Playing 11
- Adam Lyth
- James Vince (C)
- Jordan Cox (WK)
- Ibrahim Zadran
- Shimron Hetmeyer
- Gerhard Erasmus
- Aayan Afzal Khan
- Mark Adair
- Blessing Muzarabani
- Uzair Khan
- Tymal Mills
DC vs GG Toss Prediction
The team winning the toss will likely opt to bowl first.
Pitch and Conditions
The pitch in Dubai usually plays the same throughout the match. The surface is hard and flat, offering good pace and bounce. The new ball will move a bit but once the batsmen get their eye in, playing shots will get easier. There is also some help for the spinners if they hit the right areas. A score of around 170 is a par score on this ground.
The weather will remain clear with temperatures of around 21 degrees.
DC vs GG Betting Tips
Both teams have been through a rough journey so far this season and there is no clear favorite to win this game. However, we feel that the Dubai Capitals have a slight advantage thanks to a strong top order and a balanced seam department.
Bet on the Dubai Capitals to win.
