DC vs ADKR Match Prediction & Analysis
Abu Dhabi Knight Riders will face Dubai Capitals for the second time this season. The last time these two teams met, the Capitals chased down a 204-run target with 8 wickets in hand at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi.
The Capitals will host the Knight Riders in Dubai this time around at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium where DC have won 3 of the 4 matches so far. The visitors are struggling with the bat despite a strong lineup.
Abu Dhabi Knight Riders’ batting has been on a downward graph since their loss to Dubai Capitals. Though the Capitals suffered a big loss in their last outing here against Sharjah Warriorz, they will back themselves to bounce back in this match.
Adam Rossington and Shai Hope are the key batters in the top order for the Capitals while Kyle Mayers, Joe Clarke, and Andre Russell are the ones to watch out for in the Knight Riders’ lineup.

TEAMS PREVIEW
Dubai Capitals Preview
After three back-to-back successful run chases, Dubai Capitals suffered a huge loss while batting first in their last match at the home venue. A middle-order collapse resulted in the hosts finishing with just 131 for 9 after they were put to bat first.
Adam Rossington and Shai Hope were the only batters in the top 5 with double-digit scores. The batting lineup is quite deep with Dasun Shanaka and Rovman Powell coming in at 7 and 8 respectively.
However, Gulbadin Naib, Sikandar Raza, and Najibullah Zadran failed to deliver partnerships in the middle-order. These 3 are crucial for the Capitals in the middle overs and need to step up and make significant contributions.
Gulbadin Naib was the top scorer for the Capitals against Abu Dhabi in their last encounter scoring 80 off 47 balls. There hasn’t been consistency in the batting performances of the Capitals and that will be a major concern coming into this game.
However, they have a strong batting lineup with experienced players at key positions. And if these key players find their rhythm, they can lead Capitals back to winning ways.
Dushmantha Chameera, Obed McCoy, and Sikandar Raza are the key bowlers to watch out for. Dubai Capitals have been disappointing with their bowling effort in recent matches.
Dubai Capitals Predicted Playing XI:
Adam Rossington, Shai Hope (wk), Najibullah Zadran, Gulbadin Naib, Dasun Shanaka, Khalid Shah, Sikandar Raza (c), Rovman Powell, Haider Ali, Dushmantha Chameera, Obed McCoy

Abu Dhabi Knight Riders Preview
Abu Dhabi Knight Riders have lost 4 of their last 5 matches including one against Dubai Capitals. They find themselves at the bottom of the points table with only an outside chance of making it to the top 4.
Looking at their current form, it seems quite a tough ask. Nonetheless, they’ve got the right people for the job. Andre Russell can deliver with both bat and ball and is an experienced T20 player with match-winnability.
Kyle Mayers and Joe Clarke are big-hitting batters in the top order who can lead the way for the Knight Riders with some good knocks. These two are crucial for a good start and if they are back in the hut cheaply, it will be tricky for the Knight Riders to come back in the game.
There is great depth in the batting order with David Willey, Andre Russell, and Jason Holder in the lower middle order. Skipper Sunil Narine has a world-class bowling attack too.
Leading from the front, the mystery spinner himself is a great option. He’s got Russell, Willey, and Holder, all of whom have plenty of T20 experience and can deliver timely breakthroughs. The fact that this team is at the bottom of the points table with one more game left is quite shocking.
Abu Dhabi Knight Riders Predicted Playing XI:
Kyle Mayers, Andries Gous, Joe Clarke (wk), Roston Chase, Alishan Sharafu, Sunil Narine (c), Andre Russell, Jason Holder, David Willey, Gudakesh Motie, Ibrar Ahmad

Average Turn
It is a great pitch for batting. Though there is some help for the bowlers in the first innings the wicket gets better as the game progresses and the batters will have the upper hand in the second innings. The average 1st innings score in the last 10 T20 matches here is 146 runs. However, teams batting second have chased down 170+ scores here quite comfortably. We reckon something around 185-195 will be a highly competitive score on this ground.
Toss: To Bowl
Teams bowling first have won 8 of the last 10 ILT20 matches played at this venue in Dubai. It is a great venue for chasing a target and has always helped the team batting second historically. Both sides have great depth in their batting and should back themselves to chase down a total.
DC vs ADKR
Winning Prediction
Abu Dhabi Knight Riders could play spoilsport for the Capitals. However, despite a stronger overall squad, the Knight Riders have failed to live up to the expectations. Capitals have looked in decent touch in their recent games. Though their bowlers haven’t been on top of the game, Dubai Capitals can deliver big with the bat. Dubai Capitals will start with a slight edge in our match prediction.
