DV vs GG Team Previews
Desert Vipers
The Desert Vipers finished as the runners-up from the previous season and have started their campaign in style, winning both matches played so far. The team’s latest win came on Friday against the Abu Dhabi Knight Riders.
The Desert Vipers will continue to open their batting with Fakhar Zaman and Andries Gous. Both of them are quality batsmen at the top of the order and have given the team a decent start in both matches. The Vipers have a strong middle order that is made up of Dan Lawrence, Shimron Hetmeyer, Hasan Nawaz, and Max Holden.
Hetmeyer played a brilliant knock in the previous match to guide his team to a thrilling victory. Coming to the bowling, Noor Ahmad has been brilliant during the middle overs and has picked up two wickets in both matches. He will be joined by Qais Ahmed in the spin department.
Naseem Shah and Khuzaima Tanveer continue to lead the attack with the new ball.

Gulf Giants
Just like their opponents, the Gulf Giants have enjoyed a perfect start to their campaign and have the best NRR among all teams. They are currently sitting at the top of the points table.
Pathum Nissanka is in red-hot form with the bat, scoring back-to-back half-centuries and will be the key batsman for his team at the top of the order. However, his opening partner, Rahmanullah Gurbaz, has struggled a bit and has been dismissed for single-digit scores in both games.
James Vince and Tom Moores are two solid batsmen in the middle order. Vince appeared to be in particularly good form in the previous match as he scored an excellent half-century. The Gulf Giants also have a strong bench of all-rounders, including Azmatullah Omarzai, Moeen Ali, Liam Dawson, and Gerhard Erasmus.
They are all dependable batsmen lower down the order and are also quality bowlers. Omarzai, in particular, has been excellent with the ball and has picked up 5 wickets as he joins Nuwan Thushara, Mark Adair, and Haider Razzaq in the pace department.
Aayan Khan continues to lead the spin department.

DV vs GG Toss Prediction
The team winning the toss will likely opt to bowl first.
Pitch Report and Weather Conditions
We are expecting a balanced surface for this match. The seamers can expect some movement off the seam early with the new ball. The batsmen need to be careful during the Powerplay and need to wait for the loose deliveries to play the big shots.
Batting in the second half gets slightly easier as there is some dew which allows the ball to skid, and the outfield becomes quick. A score of around 170 is a par score. The weather will remain clear with temperatures over 25 degrees.
DV vs GG: Who Will Win?
Both teams are undefeated in this tournament, and we can expect a cracking contest between them on Monday. While there is no clear favourite here, we feel that Desert Vipers have a slight edge here, thanks to a well-rounded bowling unit, which can be a big advantage at this venue.
Bet on Desert Vipers to win.
