Gulf Giants vs Abu Dhabi Knight Riders Chance of Winning
The Gulf Giants ended their winless start to the 2025 International League T20 with a dominating win over last season’s finalists Dubai Capitals. A solid team performance helped them chase down a target of 166 with 5 wickets in hand. They propelled themselves into the playoff spots and will be keen on solidifying their position with a win over the 5th placed side.
Abu Dhabi Knight Riders’ topsy turvy season continues with two losses and a win. They looked short of ideas in their two losses to table toppers Desert Vipers but were at their confident best against second-placed Sharjah Warriorz. The schedule to kickstart the season for them has been quite difficult, facing the top two sides in their first three games. The Knight Riders were waiting for this sort of an opponent to truly gauge where they stand.

Gulf Giants vs Abu Dhabi Knight Riders Prediction & Betting Tips 2024
Joe Clarke was looking in great touch in the previous game, batting on 55 runs with 8 boundaries when he got unlucky. Sunil Narine’s powerful shot was flicked on to the stumps by Nathan Sowter as Clarke was standing a couple of yards outside the crease. The 37-year-old looked at ease on the Dubai wicket and we’re backing the opener at odds of 1.85 on Parimatch to score more than 20.5 runs against the Knight Riders.
Gulf Giants, despite the results not going the way they expected, have hit 18 sixes in their three matches. If we exclude the match where they could only score 119, they average 7.5 sixes per match. Odds of 2.00 on Batery for the team to score more than 5.5 sixes in the game seem like a good bet to us.
Match Prediction Best Odds
Gulf Giants vs Abu Dhabi Knight Riders Match Toss Prediction
Teams batting first have won two out of five matches played in Dubai. Gulf Giants have failed to defend their total both times they batted first while the only match they chased, they ended up winning. Abu Dhabi Knight Riders, on the other hand, have failed to chase the one time they fielded first while winning one of two matches when they batted first. There’s not much dependence on the toss and we expect the captain that wins the toss to field first in order to know the target to chase.
Weather Report
There is a 5% chance of rain early in the evening, but the clouds are expected to clear once the match begins. The temperature should be around 22 degrees celsius but strong winds are expected in Dubai.

Gulf Giants vs Abu Dhabi Knight Riders Betting Odds
A conservative powerplay is expected in Dubai
Both teams have a tendency to build their innings slowly. While the circumstances have been different in each match, only once have the teams crossed the 50-run mark in the powerplay overs in six innings combined. The Giants have scores of 42, 32, and 41 while losing 7 wickets in the first 6 overs across three games. The Knight Riders average 44 runs in the powerplay overs and have lost 5 wickets in the three games in that period. We’re not expecting either team to cross 45 runs in the powerplay overs and wouldn’t be surprised to see if both teams lose a couple of wickets each.

Gulf Giants vs Abu Dhabi Knight Riders Top Batters
Adam Lyth to be Gulf Giants’ top batsman
Opening batsman Adam Lyth was in devastating form in the last match, scoring 32 runs in just 17 deliveries in a knock that included 4 fours and 1 six. While he failed to perform in the first two matches, last game’s performance has inclined us into backing him to go big.
Joe Clarke to be Abu Dhabi Knight Riders’ top batsman
With 88 runs, Joe Clarke is the team’s leading run scorer so far in the tournament. After two games in Abu Dhabi, Clarke came to the fore with a 55-run knock in Dubai against the Desert Vipers. He was unlucky to get run out in the game and could have taken his team to a victory had he stayed till the end.
Gulf Giants vs Abu Dhabi Knight Riders Top Bowlers
Mark Adair to be Gulf Giants’ top bowler
Allrounder Mark Adair continues his consistent form for the Gulf Giants. He has taken 2 wickets each in all three games and stands just 1 behind the leading wicket-taker of the tournament, Fazalhaq Farooqui. He has been more economical in Dubai, conceding just 35 runs in 8 overs while bowling 2 maidens too.
Jason Holder to be Abu Dhabi Knight Riders’ top bowler
The tall West Indian has finally come to the party, and how! Jason Holder, after blanking in the first match, returned with figures of 4/23 and 2/24 in his next two matches. He is the danger man for the Knight Riders, who will be relying on him to keep the Gulf Giants batsmen quiet.
