Dubai Capitals Preview
Dubai Capitals have had an on-and-off season so far in the International League T20 2025 season. They have played five matches, winning two of them. The Capitals are currently placed fourth in the points table with four points and a net run rate of -0.404.
Dubai Capitals started the season with a thrilling win against MI Emirates, defending 133 runs. Dubai Capitals restricted MI Emirates one run short of the target. Brandon McMillan scored a valuable 58 of just 42 balls to help Dubai Capitals boast a respectable total. In bowling, Gulbadin Naib took three wickets for just 13 runs in four overs to ensure first victory for the Dubai Capitals. Dubai Capital had to face three defeats in a row against MI Emirates by 26 runs, against Sharjah Warriorz by 5 wickets, and against the Gulf Giants by 6 wickets.
In the previous encounter against gulf Giants, the Dubai Capitals posted a formidable score of 165 for 7 in 20 overs. It was a result of a lot of handy contributions from the top and middle order, but none of them went on to make it big. In defense, the Dubai Capitals started well but lost their way after 7 overs as Gulf Giants cruised to victory in the 19th over with 6 wickets to spare. However, Dubai Capitals are coming off of a confidence-boosting win against the tabletoppers Desert Vipers in their previous game by six wickets and about three overs to spare.
Bowling first, the Capitals restricted the Vipers for just 139 runs. Dushmantha Chameera and Zahir Khan took three wickets each to derail Desert Vipers' batting. The chase proved to be an easy one thanks to Gulbadin Naib's handy contribution of 78 not out of just 51 balls with three fours and five towering sixes. This is a crucial game for Dubai Capitals as they are playing against an underperforming Gulf giants and this is a good chance to register a victory and ensure a position in the playoffs.
Key players: Shai Hope, Gulbadin Naib, Sikandar Raza, Zahir Khan
DC Over/Under Betting Tips
Shai Hope has scores of 8, 12, 83, 101, and 9 in the season so far. He has had a quiet couple of matches in his last two outings, where he hasn't been able to find his rhythm. We back the West Indian international to bounce back in today's match against the lackluster Giants bowling attack and play a match-winning knock for the Capitals.
Dubai Capitals Predicted Playing XI:
Shai Hope (wk), Khalid Shah, Najibullah Zadran, Sikandar Raza (c), Rovman Powell, Dasun Shanaka, Gulbadin Naib, Haider Ali, Dushmantha Chameera, Zahir Khan, Obed McCoy

Gulf Giants Preview
After 4 games, the Gulf Giants find themselves at the bottom of the table. They have played one game less than their current opponents, Dubai Capitals, and their journey so far has been quite comparable to the Capitals. The Giants also have the worst Net Run Rate of -0.526 owing to some big defeats.
Like Dubai Capitals, Gulf Giants started the season with a very close game. However, unlike the Capitals, they finished on the wrong side of the result. In that match against Sharjah Warriors, Gulf Giants posted a good score of 174 for 7. Owing to handy contributions from the top and middle order, in defense, they lost the match on the last ball by three wickets. However, Mark Adair and Blessing Muzarbani took two wickets each in the losing cause.
In their next game against the Vipers, Gulf Giants were defeated by 6-wicket with 14 balls remaining. In the third game, the Gulf Giants tested their first and only victory so far this season against their current opponents, Dubai Capitals. Bowling first, the Gulf Giants conceded 165 for 7 in 20 overs. Mark Adair and Aayan Afzal Khan took 2 wickets each. It proved to be a tricky chase, but Gerhard Erasmus and Shimron Hetmeyer's unbeaten partnership of 80 runs helped seal the victory for the Gulf Giants.
The Gulf Giants however lost their next game against the Knight Riders by a big margin of 37 runs. Chasing 177, Gulf Giants could only manage 139 for it. Earlier, Ion Afzal Khan took 4 wickets for 16 runs in 4 overs. But this time, Gulf Giants' batting let them down. This is a good chance for the Gulf Giants to register a victory, but they have to fire as a unit for them to have any chance of defeating Dubai Capitals and get closer to a playoff spot.

The Dubai International Cricket Stadium, inaugurated in 2009, is renowned for its state-of-the-art facilities. Over the years, it has hosted numerous international matches and tournaments including IPL and ILT20 league games. The venue serves as a home ground for the UAE and occasionally for Pakistan. It has a seating capacity around 30,000 spectators.
Total Over/Under Betting Tips
We believe luck will favor the home team, Dubai Capitals in today's match and predict them to win the coin toss.
The average total match score in the 8 ILT20 matches played at Dubai International Stadium this season is 286. 63% of the matches played at this venue have been average to low-scoring, with total match scores not exceeding 315 runs. The conditions also slightly favor bowlers, making run-scoring challenging in the middle overs. We predict a low-scoring affair with the total match score likely to remain under 317 runs.
Toss: To Bowl
The conditions at Dubai International Cricket Stadium are quite even for the batting and bowling teams. After 92 outright results at this venue, 47 have been won by the teams bowling first, while 45 have been won by the teams batting first. In the current season of ILT20, the teams bowling first have won 4 matches out of 8. With conditions so even for batting and bowling, it's preferable to bowl first in a T20 game. The team winning the toss should bowl first here.
DC vs GG
Winning Prediction
The performance trajectories for both Dubai Capitals and Gulf Giants have been very similar this season. Both the teams haven't been able to put forward their best performance so far. While Dubai Capitals rank a bit higher in the points table, Gulf Giants are currently at the bottom of the table. The win against the table toppers Desert Vipers in the previous game by Dubai Capitals must be a confidence-boosting one. We believe Dubai Capitals might come into this game with a bit more chance against the Gulf Giants.
We predict that Dubai Capitals will beat Gulf Giants.
