Gulf Giants vs Dubai Capitals Team Preview & Squads
Gulf Giants
The Giants won’t be considering altering the starting lineup too much after losing their last two games. The team should not change other than Carlos Brathwaite perhaps starting one game in Chris Jordan’s place. In just three innings, James Vince has scored 98 runs, including one fifty, demonstrating his remarkable consistency thus far in ILT20 2024. Vince is a formidable player who has to be playing at the top of his game if the Giants are to start winning again. Chris Lynn scored an outstanding 63 runs in the Giants’ most recent game against the Desert Vipers, making an instant impression. The inclusion of Lynn to the club has improved their batting, as he also possesses match-winning abilities.
All bowlers are concerned about dew, even though Mujeeb ur Rahman has been erratic. Mujeeb has the potential to win the Giants’ game if he bowls first.

Sikandar Raza is an important member of the team since he can help with the ball and the bat. In the three games he has participated in, Raza has amassed runs and claimed wickets.
