Desert Vipers vs Abu Dhabi Knight Riders Chance of Winning

Desert Vipers could not have hoped for a better start to the campaign as they went once again against Dubai Capitals for the first time since losing in the Final last season. Desert Vipers dominated the game as they won the game with four wickets to spare and would be hoping to carry on their form into this game.

Abu Dhabi Knight Riders struggled to make an impact last season as they had just three wins in the group stages but this season they could not have hoped for a better start as they went head to head against Sharjah Warriorz and won the game by 39 runs. As per our calculations, Abu Dhabi Knight Riders are favourites in the upcoming game.

  • Desert Vipers’ chances of winning - 42%

Desert Vipers vs Abu Dhabi Knight Riders Prediction & Tips 2025

Max Holden missed most of the season but still made a significant impact as he scored 230 runs in four matches. Even though he struggled in the opening game, we expect him to bounce back and do well in the upcoming game.

Sunil Narine’s impact in T20 cricket has been huge but in the last few seasons he has struggled in the batting department which has been the case in 2025. We believe Narine will score low in the upcoming game.

Desert Vipers vs Abu Dhabi Knight Riders Top Batters

Sam Curran to be Desert Vipers’ top batter

Sam Curran did not have a great start to the campaign as he scored seven runs in the opening game regardless, we are going to back him once again as he was outstanding last season and we expect him to bounce back in this fixture.

Alex Hales to be Abu Dhabi Knight Riders’ top batter

Alex Hales was outstanding last season as he scored 405 runs and was the leading run scorer for his side. In the opening game he looked great as he scored 32 off 19 balls which makes him our top pick in the upcoming game.

Desert Vipers vs Abu Dhabi Knight Riders Top Bowlers

Noor Ahmad to be Desert Vipers’ top bowler

Noor Ahmad has arguably been one of the best spinners in the T20 format and he did not disappoint in the opening game as he had the best bowling figures in the game which makes him our top pick in the upcoming game.

Jason Holder to be Abu Dhabi Knight Riders’ top bowler

Jason Holder did not play the opening game but we expect him to return in the starting lineup as he bagged 17 wickets last year and was the leading wicket taker for his side which makes him our top pick in the upcoming game.

Our Prediction

Favorites to win

Abu Dhabi Knight Riders

Desert Vipers had an outstanding campaign last season and in the group stages they dominated this fixture against Abu Dhabi Knight Riders as they won both matches. This year Abu Dhabi Knight Riders have a far superior squad and they dominated the opening game against Sharjah Warriorz which makes us believe they will bag maximum points in the upcoming game.
