Abu Dhabi Knight Riders vs Dubai Capitals Chance of Winning

Abu Dhabi Knight Riders come into the match on the back of a dominating win over MI Emirates at home. Their season so far has seen them win alternate games with losses to MI Emirates and twice against Desert Vipers. They have three wins in six games and find themselves just ahead of the Capitals courtesy of a better net run rate.

Dubai Capitals are the snake charmers, having vanquished the Desert Vipers earlier in the tournament. They put an end to the Vipers’ 8-match winning run this season and backed that up with another win over the Gulf Giants. Prior to that they had only won one game in four matches.

  • Abu Dhabi Knight Riders Chance of Winning - 56%

Only once in five games has a team successfully chased down a target in Abu Dhabi this season. Teams batting first have won the last four matches at the venue and hence, we’re backing the captain that wins the toss to back his team to set an imposing target.

Abu Dhabi Knight Riders vs Dubai Capitals Betting Odds

Dubai Capitals’ to have a better opening partnership than the Abu Dhabi Knight Riders

The two teams have a very different way of approaching the start of the innings. The Knight Riders like to score heavily in the opening overs while the Capitals save their wickets and build steadily. The Dubai Capitals average nearly 30 runs for the opening wicket. In contrast, the Knight Riders average 8 runs fewer. The hosts have two 40+ run partnerships, including a 54-run stand while the visitors’ highest partnership for the opening wicket stands at 39. We are backing the Dubai Capitals to maximise home ground advantage and make the most of the start of the innings.

Abu Dhabi Knight Riders vs Dubai Capitals Top Batters

Alishan Sharafu to be Abu Dhabi Knight Riders’ top batsman

UAE local boy Alishan Sharafu was the star in Knight Riders’ win over the defending champions in their most recent game. He scored his first half-century of the season. In the 4 matches that Sharafu has played in Abu Dhabi, he has scored 130 runs.

Shai Hope to be Dubai Capitals’ top batsman

The tournament’s leading run scorer, Shai Hope, is our pick to be the best batsman from the Capitals. He has scored 260 runs in six matches so far and returns to the venue where he scored an unbeaten hundred against the MI Emirates.

Abu Dhabi Knight Riders vs Dubai Capitals Top Bowlers

Jason Holder to be Abu Dhabi Knight Riders’ top bowler

The tall West Indies medium pacer is the team’s leading wicket-taker in the tournament so far. After blanking in the first game, Jason Holder has taken two or more wickets in each match. He just needs 1 wicket to match Fazalhaq Farooqi at the top of the charts.

Gulbadin Naib to be Dubai Capitals’ top bowler

The Capitals allrounder returns to the venue where he started the tournament and took 3 wickets against MI Emirates. While Gulbadin Naib has only managed two wickets in the last four games, we are expecting him to utilise the conditions well and trouble the Knight Riders batsmen.
