ILT20 Cricket Match Prediction 2024 | Match 29 | MI Emirates vs Dubai Capitals – Will DC win against the table-toppers MIE? | Feb 10

MI Emirates vs Dubai Capitals Match Analysis

This is the period of the season when the group stage finishes, with two teams guaranteed to go out and four more teams moving on to the ILT20 2024 knockout stage. MI Emirates will advance as the top-seeded team if they win this game and secure their spot in the next round. However, the fourth-place Dubai Capitals will not want to give up their spot to either of the two teams below them going into this game.

MI Gulf Giants defeated Emirates in the most recent match. But the squad is already in the playoffs, so the loss didn’t damage them. The squad lost by five runs after failing to reach the run of 159.

In the meantime, Dubai Capitals defeated Desert Vipers in the previous match. After chasing 172, Sikandar Raza smashed a six off the final ball of the game to help DC win by five wickets. The squad is positioned fourth in the standings with four victories and five losses; a victory in the upcoming game will secure a postseason spot.

MI Emirates vs Dubai Capitals Team Preview & Squads

MI Emirates

MI Emirates has been the top team in the tournament. After winning six of nine games, the club became the first to qualify for the playoffs.

To play for the West Indies versus Australia, Nicholas Pooran has withdrawn from the competition. For the remaining games, Kieron Pollard will captain the squad after coming back to the starting lineup. Fazalhaq Farooqi is also in the Afghanistan team for the visit of Sri Lanka, hence he cannot be selected.

Amazing performance by Kusal Perera in the ILT20 2024. With 266 runs scored in seven games, he leads the competition in run scoring and has been incredibly consistent. For MIE, Perera will be the key player without Pooran. Muhammad Waseem, who scored 253 runs in nine matches despite missing the final game, has had an outstanding summer.

The team’s bowling assault will be led by Trent Boult. With nine wickets taken in nine games, Boult has been unstoppable in the tournament.

Kieron Pollard (c), Andre Fletcher (wk), Kusal Perera, Jordan Thompson, Muhammad Waseem, Dan Mousley, Odean Smith, Muhammad Rohid Khan, Trent Boult, Vijayakanth Viyaskanth, Ambati Rayudu (SUB), and Waqar Salamkheil.

Dubai Capitals

The Capitals have had difficulty in the tournament, but they have managed to stay in it thanks to their recent victory. The team has lost three of their last five games.

David Warner has departed for Australia, while Sam Billings has been appointed captain of the Dubai Capitals. Rahmanullah Gurbaz is not included in the roster either, as he is currently touring Sri Lanka with the Afghanistan team. Sam Billings hit 57 in 36 balls when playing a captain’s knock against the Vipers in the previous game. He will be the team’s most important player when Warner and Gurbaz are not around.

In the previous match, Sikandar Raza was the Dubai Capitals’ hero. Raza delivered the final ball DC needed for a six, saving DC’s playoff chances. He finished the game with 60 runs. Additionally, he bowled a remarkable 1-16 spell with the ball. With 263 runs, Raza leads the team in scoring.

Olly Stone backed his 4-wicket performance against the Gulf Giants with a 2-31 spell against the Vipers. The Capitals will benefit greatly from his form going into their last league encounter.

MI Emirates vs Dubai Capitals outfield report

Sheikh Zayed Stadium, Abu Dhabi

Given the dew threat, the captains chose to bowl first, and we don’t expect their decision to change in the remaining matches of the tournament.

The temperature will be clear, ranging from 22 to 19 degrees. The humidity will be approximately 62%.

The pitch is on the slow side, but dew has allowed the ball to skid off the surface and land nicely on the bat. A score of 170 is approximately average.
