DV vs GG Team Previews
Desert Vipers
The Desert Vipers have been the most consistent team in this season and have already qualified for the playoffs. However, the team suffered a shock defeat in their latest outing and will look to bounce back as we come close to the business end of the tournament.
A lot will depend on Alex Hales and Fakhar Zaman. Barring the last match, the duo has consistently given the team a strong platform and they can score briskly during the powerplay. Sam Curran, Sherfane Rutherford, and Dan Lawrence have been impressive in the middle order and together, they form one of the strongest batting units in the league.
One of the biggest advantages for the Vipers is that rather than depending on any particular individual, the whole team has stepped up at various stages. Mohammad Amir and Khuzaima Tanveer will lead the attack with the new ball. Amir is the team’s leading wicket-taker this season.
With Lockie Ferguson and Wanindu Hasaranga both missing the last match due to injuries, the bowling looks a bit weak at the moment. However, the duo will hopefully recover soon.

- Fakhar Zaman
- Alex Hales
- Sam Curran (C)

- Sherfane Rutherford

Gulf Giants
With just 3 wins in 7 games, the Gulf Giants are struggling at the moment. However, the team won two consecutive matches before this match and will feel confident.
The Gulf Giants have a strong batting line-up that boasts players like Jordan Cox, James Vince, Gerhard Erasmus, and Shimron Hetmeyer. However, they haven’t been consistent in their performance and that has affected the team’s fortunes.
Tom Alsop scored an excellent half-century in the previous match and looks in fine form. He will look to give the team a strong start here. In the bowling department, Blessing Muzarabani and Mark Adair have been excellent with the new ball and have picked up 21 wickets between them.
Aayan Afzal Khan will lead the spin department and has 8 wickets to his name.

DV vs GG Toss Prediction
The team winning the toss will likely opt to bowl first.
Pitch and Conditions
The pitch in Dubai is usually balanced. The surface is a bit slow and the spinners will get some help here. That said, once the batsmen settle down, playing shots will get easier for them. A score of around 165 is a par score on this ground.
The weather will be clear with temperatures of around 21 degrees.
DV vs GG Betting Tips
We are backing the Desert Vipers to win this match. They have been clinical in their performance in most of their games and have done well in all departments. The Gulf Giants will need a better performance from their batsmen if they want to win here.
