Abu Dhabi Knight Riders vs Dubai Capitals Team Preview & Squads
Abu Dhabi Knight Riders
Abu Dhabi Knight Riders won’t be considering altering the starting lineup because this is a must-win game. Sagar Kalyaan may be replaced by Andries Gous, but it would be a difficult decision to make given that Gous has also performed incredibly poorly in his games.
The Knight Riders have been strengthened with the signing of Jason Roy. The batsman struck quickly, hitting 47 off of 31 balls. Since Roy is an avid player, a strong performance from him will increase Knight Riders’ chances of winning. Michael Pepper has performed admirably in the competition. He hasn’t exactly set the world on fire, but he has put in a few meaningful innings, and on the big day, you can never count him out. Thus far, he has scored 224 runs.
With the ball, Sunil Narine has been outstanding. Narine’s economy of 5.7 in 9 games is outstanding because he has prevented batters from scoring runs off of him. He has also claimed nine wickets in addition.

Dubai Capitals

Against MI Emirates, Tom Banton scored 37 runs during the most recent game. Rahmanullah Gurbaz was replaced with him on the team, and he had an instant influence. Banton can play well in the Eliminator and is a good hitter.

Over the past three games, Olly Stone has been outstanding. He has caused the batsmen a variety of issues with his quick bowling. In the past three games, he has claimed seven wickets.
