  • MI Emirates’ Kusal Perera has scored 48 & 101 in his last 5 innings.
  • MI Emirates’ Kusal Perera scored 38 off 26 balls in last season’s final.

Head-to-Head


DC Capital won the first two matches between the two teams last season in the group stages. MI Emirates won the last match, the final, by 45 runs. 

Dubai Capitals Form


The Capitals had a great run of form leading up to last season’s final, winning four games on the trot. They lost in the final to MI Emirates by 45 runs.

The Emirates bowlers lashed the Capitals bowlers to all parts of the ground. Zahir Khan (1/21, econ 5.25) was the most economical of the Capitals bowlers.

The Capitals lost early wickets and were behind the asking rate despite a good effort from Tom Banton (35 off 20 balls) and Sam Billings (40 off 29).

Dubai Capitals Team News


The Capitals’ batting is lacking the form and fire displayed by the MI Emirates top-order since last year’s final and are unlikely to put up a strong challenge against them.

MI Emirates Form


The Emirates had won two and lost two en route to last season’s final. They rose to the challenge of the final, beating the Capitals by 45 runs.

Emirates got off to a flying start and were 102/2 in the 12th over. Andre Fletcher (53 off 37) hit four sixes and Nicholas Pooran (57* off 27) hit four sixes as the Emirates posted 208/3.

Trent Boult (2/20) and Vijayakanth Viyaskanth (2/24) were the pick of the Emirates bowlers. The Capitals ended on 163/7 off their 20 overs. 

MI Emirates Team News


MI Emirates have a powerful batting line-up that should prove stronger than the Capitals.

Verdict

I am backing MI Emirates to win. I am also backing Kusal Perera to top score for MI Emirates.

Joe Burns is a good bet to top score for the Dubai Capitals.
