It was a thrilling start to the International League T20, 2025, where the Dubai Capitals defeated the defending champions, MI Emirates, in the 1st game by 1 run in a thrilling contest. The 4th game of the tournament would see the two sides battle again, and we expect a close contest as some of the best players take on each other.
The Dubai Capitals have enjoyed an excellent record against the MI Emirates. They have won five out of six games between the two teams in the last three seasons. Dubai Capitals have a strong batting lineup, and they will look to capitalize on that. The MI Emirates’ top order struggled in the last game, and it will be interesting to see if they can make a strong comeback.

Nicholas Pooran will be upset with the result in the last game. The defending champions made a mess of what should have been an easy run chase, failing to chase a target of 134. The top order failed and sowed seeds of defeat. Pooran, who played well in the last game, shall look to lead from the front and take his side to victory.
Kusal Perera and Muhammad Waseem failed in the last game, and the team expects a better start from the pair. The team expects a better show in the middle order from Andre Fletcher and Tom Banton, and they will look to build partnerships with Pooran. Kieron Pollard and Akeal Hossain are good hitters and will look to add quick runs in the lower middle order.
The bowling attack will look to draw inspiration from their performance in the last game. It was a good spell from Akeal Hosein and Fazalhaq Farooqi with the new ball in the last game, and they will look to do the same. Alzarri Joseph and AM Ghazanfar must keep the scoring under check as the Dubai Capitals have a strong batting lineup. Zahoor Khan and Waqar Salamkheil add teeth to the bowling attack.
Pooran scored 61 runs in 40 balls in the last game against Dubai Capitals. He is in top-notch form in franchise cricket and averages 34.60 in T20 matches played at Abu Dhabi, amassing 450 runs in 16 matches. We predict Pooran to have another good outing with the bat on a much better batting surface and score over 26.5 runs.

Sikandar Raza would be pleased with the efforts of his bowlers in the last game. They successfully defended a small total on a good batting surface, holding their nerves in the final overs. The MI Emirates will come hard at them in this game, and Raza expects a better performance from his batters.
Shai Hope and Adam Rossington failed to reach double digits in the last game, and the team expects a strong start from the pair. Brandon McMullen played a match-winning knock in the last game and shall look to add runs with Sikandar Raza and Rovman Powell. Dasun Shanaka and Gulbadin Naib are good hitters and add firepower to the batting lineup.
Olly Stone and Obed McCoy bowled brilliantly in the last game, and the team expects a similar show from them with the new ball. Farhan Khan and Sikandar Raza struggled in the middle overs, and the team needs them to bowl better lines. Gulbadin Naib and Zahir Khan add depth to the attack.
McMullen scored the first 50 of the ILT20 2025 against the MI Emirates. He played a classical knock that proved to be match-winning. Batting in the top four provides him with more opportunities to face deliveries. Having faced the MI bowling lineup a few days ago, he will be wary of the MI bowlers' approach to the game.

Sheikh Zayed Stadium, Abu Dhabi, has large boundaries, but the outfield is fast, allowing batsmen to play their strokes. Fast bowlers find it challenging to bowl on this surface, but the spinners have done well here as they can turn the ball.
MI Emirates and Dubai Capitals have a 2-2 coin toss record. We predict MI Emirates will win the toss in this game.
The pitch at Abu Dhabi offers a balanced track, where the average score per innings this season is around the 160-165 run mark. Overall in the four head-to-head matches played between MI Emirates and Dubai Capitals, 50% of the matches have resulted in scores exceeding 320 runs. We predict another moderate scoring game in today's match and the total match score to exceed 315.5 runs.
In the last five games, the side chasing the score has won only once at this venue. The pitch has been tough to bat on in the second innings when it slows down. Thus, the two skippers at the toss would not have doubts about batting first.
The MI Emirates has a big battle on its hands. They have struggled against the Dubai Capitals and come here with a heartbreaking loss. The top order must do well in this game for the team to win. The Dubai Capitals have a good record against the Emirates and a strong batting lineup, giving them a slight edge.
