Betting Tips
Total wickets Over 12.5
1.90
3 of the last 4 ILT20 matches played here have seen 13 or more wickets fall and we are expecting that trend to continue.
Highest individual score Over 65.5
1.85
The pitch at Dubai usually favors the batsmen. As both teams have a strong batting line-up, and with some of the batsmen in good form, we are expecting at least one big individual score.
The Desert Vipers will look to build on the winning momentum as they take on the Gulf Giants in the ongoing ILT20 tournament. The two teams will face off on Tuesday at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium.

GG vs DV Team Previews
Gulf Giants
The Giants didn’t get the start they would have hoped for as the team lost their opening fixture against Sharjah Warriorz in a last-ball thriller. However, there are plenty of matches to be played and the team will hope to bounce back.
The Gulf Giants have an explosive batting unit that is led by skipper James Vince. He is the leading run-scorer of the league and will be the key batsman for the Giants, especially during the PowerPlay. Vince will be joined by Adam Lyth in the opening slot, while the likes of Shimron Hetmeyer, Oliver Robinson, and Jordan Cox come lower down the order.
The Giants have some quality all-rounders like Mark Adair and Rehan Ahmed, both of whom contributed with the bat on Sunday.
The team’s bowling attack is well-balanced as well. Daniel Worrall, Blessing Muzarabani, and Tymal Mills will lead the pace department while Aayan Afzal Khan and Rehan Ahmed are the two spinners.

- Rehan Ahmed
- Blessing Muzarabani

Desert Vipers
The Desert Vipers made a winning start to their campaign by defeating the Knight Riders in what ended as a one-sided encounter.
Fakhar Zaman and Alex Hales gave a steady start to the team as they set out to chase a target of 167 runs. The duo has plenty of experience playing in T20 leagues and will hope to give the team another good start here.
The middle order is pretty strong as well, thanks to the presence of Sherfane Rutherford, Dan Lawrence, and Tanish Suri. Lawrence was in excellent form on Sunday as he scored 70 runs from just 39 deliveries. He was well-supported by Sam Curran, who too scored a half-century.
The Vipers boast of a strong pace attack that will be led by Lockie Ferguson and joined by Mohammad Amir and Luke Wood. Nathan Sowter will feature as the full-time spinner in the playing XI.

GG vs DV Toss Prediction
The team winning the toss will likely opt to bowl first.
Pitch and Conditions
The wicket in Dubai is usually on the dry side but there is likely to be some grass on the surface. The fast bowlers can expect some help early in the game but as the match progresses, batting will get easier. The average first-inning score here is around 170-180 runs. There will be some dew in the second half, making it difficult for the bowlers to grip the ball.
The weather will remain clear with temperatures of around 21 degrees.
GG vs DV Betting Tips
We are backing the Desert Vipers to win this match. They were clinical in their performance on Sunday, doing well in all departments. The Giants do not have a good record against the Vipers and are likely to struggle.
Bet on the Desert Vipers to win.
