Dubai Capitals Form
After securing three big wins in a row, the Capitals suffered a massive defeat at the hands of the Warriorz.
Adam Rossington 37 off 23) and Shai Hope (45 off 52) got the Capitals off to a strong start. The Capitals then lost six wickets fr 36 runs in nine overs, which left them struggling to post 131/9 off their 20 overs.
The Warriorz stormed to a nine-wicket win in under 12 overs. Sikandar Raza (1/9, econ 4.50) was the only Capitals bowler to enjoy success.
Dubai Capitals Team News
Although they lost their last match, the Capitals have shown good form of late and should take the Knight Riders down to earn their playoff place with a match to spare.
Abu Dhabi Knight Riders Form
The Knight Riders made it four losses in five when they lost to the Giants by seven wickets in their last match.
David Willey hit four sixes in his 41 off 29 balls, but without support from the top order they limped to 123/7 off their 20 overs.
The Giants knocked off a seven-wicket win with 13 balls in hand. David Willey (2/17, econ 4.25) was the pick of the Knight Riders bowlers.
Abu Dhabi Knight Riders Team News
This is make or break for the Knight Riders. They are not in good form and have lost their last three on the bounce. I don’t see them having the form to win this match.
Verdict
I am backing Dubai Capitals to win. I am also backing Shai Hope to top score for Dubai Capitals.
Kyle Mayers is a good bet to top score for the Abu Dhabi Knight Riders.
