Head-to-Head

The Capitals have won all three matches against the Vipers. Their first two wins were off the final ball of the match.

Desert Vipers Form

The Vipers bounced back from a 154-run loss against the MI Emirates by beating the Giants by five wickets to make it three wins from four.

Sam Curran (3/28, econ 7.00) and Wanindu Hasaranga (3/10, econ 2.50) ploughed through the Giants top-order, leaving them reeling at 46/5. They recovered somewhat to post 129/8 off their 20 overs.

Max Holden (70* off 54) was the only Vipers batter to get a handle on the Giants attack. He guided them home for a five-wicket win with one over in hand.

Desert Vipers Team News

The Vipers have enjoyed a strong season, and in this form they will be difficult to beat.

Dubai Capitals Form

The Capitals clinched a 26-run win over the Knight Riders to make it four wins from five.

David Warner scored a power-packed 93* off 57 balls as the Capitals piled up a score of 217/4 off 20 overs.

The Knight Riders chased hard but ended 26 runs short, ending on 191/5 off their 20 overs. Dushmantha Chameera (2/25, econ 6.25) was the pick of the Capitals bowlers.

Dubai Capitals Team News

This is the last League match of the season, and the Capitals have secured four spot in the League for a place in the playoffs. They will be motivated to win as they would see them finish in second place.
