Dubai Capitals vs Gulf Giants Team Preview & Squads
Dubai Capitals
Even though Rahmanullah Gurbaz is severely out of form, it will be difficult to remove him from the starting lineup. Although the club has Vriitya Aravind in the lineup, we believe Rahmanullah Gurbaz will get more chances because of his ability to win games. Rahul Chopra can be replaced with Aravind.
Although David Warner has had a really bad tournament, his most recent game showed hints of improvement. Warner scored 42 points in the Knight Riders game. Due to his participation in the T20I series against the West Indies, Warner will soon be leaving the tournament. He would like to contribute significantly in his remaining games.
In the competition, Rahmanullah Gurbaz has been dealt a reality check. During the past year or two, he has been among the most reliable batsmen in Twenty20 cricket, beginning the season with an 81-run knock. It was, however, followed by a run of poor grades. But Gurbaz is a great batter who is always a threat. On his day, he is a match-winner.
In the tournament thus far, Sikandar Raza has amassed 183 runs and claimed seven wickets. He ranks among the team’s top wicket-takers and is one of the team’s top scorers of runs. He is a great asset to the group.

Gulf Giants
The Giants have had a difficult season in ILT20 2024, but a victory in the final game will boost their confidence as the playoff competition heats up. We believe the Giants will start with the same lineup.
Lynn scored 45 points against the Warriors, maintaining his excellent play. With 243 runs this season, he has risen to third place in the list of players with the most runs. At his most destructive, Lynn is still the Giants’ greatest asset.
Hetmyer scored 53 runs in 28 balls against the Warriors after moving up in the batting order a little bit. In the previous game, he contributed 40 runs in an inning. Hetmyer has proven his ability to win games once more, and in the upcoming games, he will be a vital player for the team.
In the most recent matchup with the Warriors, Muzarabani bowled a spell of 1-17. He is one of the team’s more seasoned bowlers and has been playing well for the past year or two. He’ll grip the ball and the key.

Due to the dew, most teams have chosen to bat second after winning the toss, although the last three games have been won by teams who batted first. Despite this, the captain could still want to bowl first because dew is an important consideration.
There will be a 21 to 19-degree temperature range. 42% humidity and strong winds are predicted for the entire evening.
The pitch has gotten slower, and batters may find it difficult to time the ball if there isn’t much dew. Here, a score of 160 is marginally over average.
