Desert Vipers vs MI Emirates Chances of Winning
Desert Vipers have had a relatively inconsistent campaign so far as they have shown signs of immense struggle in most of the matches they have participated in. Their only two victories were against MI Emirates and Gulf Giants earlier this season. Their form appears to have taken a downturn from their previous season where they won seven out of ten matches, as opposed to their current predicament where they have already lost four matches. Their match against Dubai Capitals was closely contested but they squandered the opportunity in an unforced error.
MI Emirates, on the other hand, have enjoyed five victories out of seven matches so far. Their previous match against Sharjah Warriors boosted their run rate and tightened their hold over the top spot in the standings. They finished the match in just 11.1 overs, having chased down a total of 129 and winning by eight wickets. All of their victories so far have been achieved in dominant fashion as they continue to extend their lead over the rest of the teams. After a third-place finish in the 2023 season of the tournament, they seem to have recuperated rather well as they have already surpassed their tally from the previous season.
- Desert Vipers chance of winning - 43%
- MI Emirates chance of winning - 57%
