GG vs DV Team Previews
Gulf Giants
Barring the loss against the Desert Vipers in a reverse fixture, the Gulf Giants have been pretty consistent so far, winning three of the four games played. Their latest fixture was against the Sharjah Warriorz, which they won with two balls to spare.
Pathum Nissanka missed the previous match due to an injury. He is the leading run-scorer for the team, and they will be hopeful of his availability for this crucial match. Rahmanullah Gurbaz looks in fine form at the other end, and together they form a strong opening pair.
The middle order consists of some big-hitting batsmen, including James Vince, Tom Moores, and Sean Dickson. The team needs at least one of them to stay longer and play a big inning. In addition, the Giants also have a couple of experienced all-rounders in Gerhard Erasmus, Liam Dawson, and Moeen Ali, who add depth to the batting.
Azmatullah Omarzai remains the key bowler for the Giants as he has been excellent this year and has picked up 9 wickets. He will be joined by Nuwan Thushara and Mark Adair in the pace department. Aayan Afzal Khan bowled brilliantly on Wednesday to pick up 3 wickets and will continue to lead the spin attack.
Gulf Giants Expected Playing 11
Pathum Nissanka, Rahmanullah Gurbaz (WK), Moeen Ali, James Vince (C), Tom Moores, Azmatullah Omarzai, Liam Dawson, Gerhard Erasmus, Nuwan Thushara, Aayan Afzal Khan, Mark Adair

Desert Vipers
The Desert Vipers are the most consistent team this season and are undefeated after playing four games. They are currently placed at the top of the points table.
Fakhar Zaman and Andries Gous have been consistent at the top of the order and will look to give the Vipers another good start in this match. Dan Lawrence has been pretty solid in the middle order and is also the team’s leading run-scorer. He will be supported by Shimron Hetmeyer, Sam Curran, Max Holden, Hasan Nawaz, and Vriitya Aravind.
The team has plenty of depth in its batting, and that is one of its biggest strengths. David Payne and Khuzaima Tanveer form a strong new-ball pair and have picked up 13 wickets between them. The duo will be joined by Lockie Ferguson in the pace department.
Noor Ahmad has been brilliant during the middle overs and will continue to lead the spin attack.

GG vs DV Toss Prediction
The team winning the toss will likely opt to bowl first.
Pitch Report and Weather Conditions
While the pitch here has some grass, it is on the dry side, and the seamers will need to be careful with their line and length. The surface dries out as the match progresses, and the spinners are likely to play an important role once the ball gets older. A score of around 160-170 is a par score, and anything over 175 will be tricky to chase.
The weather will remain clear with temperatures of between 25 and 30 degrees.
GG vs DV: Who Will Win?
The previous encounter between these two teams went into the Super Over, and we are expecting another close finish for this match. We reckon that the Desert Vipers have an edge here thanks to a balanced bowling unit and a batting line-up that has depth.
Also, the team has shown remarkable ability to perform under pressure.
Bet on Desert Vipers to win.
