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.

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

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.

I am backing Desert Vipers to win. I am also backing Max Holden to top score for Desert Vipers.

David Warner is a good bet to top score for the Dubai Capitals.
