Dubai Capitals

Dubai Capitals and Gulf Giants had contrasting campaigns last season as Gulf Giants missed the playoffs last season and Dubai Capitals won the championship. Even though Gulf Giants have a better head to head record in this fixture, we believe Dubai Capitals will bounce back after the loss in the opening game and will bag maximum points in this fixture.
