Rohan Mustafa to score Over 16.5 runs
Rohan Mustafa has scored 65 runs in his 2 innings and has looked in good touch. He knows the conditions well and we therefore expect him to continue playing well.
Gulbadin Naib to be the best bowler for Dubai Capitals
Gulbadin has been consistent with the ball and has picked up 3 wickets in both his outings. He has been the top bowler for the Capitals for both those games. We are therefore backing him to bowl another good spell.
As the competition in the ongoing ILT20 heats up, the Sharjah Warriorz will take on the Dubai Capitals in match number 7 on Friday. The two teams will clash at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium.

SW vs DC Team Previews
Sharjah Warriorz
The Sharjah Warriorz is coming into this contest on the back of a 30-run loss against the Knight Riders. As a result, they have slipped down to the 5th place on the table and have the worst NRR among all teams.
The Warriorz are expected to start their batting with Johnson Charles and Tom Kohler-Cadmore. While Kohler-Cadmore scored a half-century in his first match, he was dismissed for a duck on Wednesday. The team will expect him to perform consistently.
The middle order is made up of T20 specialists like Jason Roy and Bhanuka Rajapaksa as well as all-rounders like Rohan Mustafa, Karim Janat, Keemo Paul, and Harmeet Singh. However, barring Mustafa, none of them has made a meaningful contribution with the bat.
Coming to the bowling, the seamers have done a decent job with Tim Southee and Adam Milne picking up 3 wickets each. However, they have been a bit expensive. The spin attack consists of Adil Rashid and Harmeet Singh.

Dubai Capitals
Like their opponents, the Capitals faced a loss in their fixture against the MI Emirates. Nevertheless, there are plenty of matches yet to be played and the team will look to turn things around here.
Shai Hope and Ben Dunk are likely to open the batting for the Dubai Capitals in this match. Hope scored a brilliant century in the previous match, albeit for a losing cause. But the team will want him to continue with the same momentum.
Brandon McMullen is another dependable batsman for the team in the middle order. The Capitals have a plethora of all-rounders playing for them including Gulbadin Naib, Sikander Raza, and Dasun Shanaka, all of whom can contribute with the bat.
Naib has been brilliant with the ball as well, picking up 6 wickets, and is the leading wicket-taker for the team. He will be joined by Olly Stone and Dushmantha Chameera in the pace department while Haider Ali and Sikander Raza will feature in the spin attack.

SW vs DC Toss Prediction
The team winning the toss will likely opt to bat first.
Pitch and Conditions
The pitch at Sharjah is good to bat. The surface is flat and on the dry side, offering good pace and bounce. The ball comes to the bat and playing shots will be easy. The team batting first will look to score around 180 runs.
The pitch does slow down a bit in the second half and the spinners can expect some help.
SW vs DC Betting Tips
We are backing the Sharjah Warriorz to win this match. While they haven’t been in the best of forms, they have a strong batting line-up and a well-balanced bowling attack, that gives them an edge.
Bet on the Sharjah Warriorz to win.
