Dubai International Cricket Stadium

Two of the bottom three placed teams face off in Dubai when Gulf Giants take on Dubai Capitals in the 16th match of the 2025 International League T20. The match is scheduled to be played from 8:00 PM IST on 23rd January at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium.

Gulf Giants vs Dubai Capitals Chance of Winning

Season 1 winners, Gulf Giants, have been very disappointing this season. They have just one win in the four games they have played so far. They started with two losses to Sharjah Warriorz and Desert Vipers. Their previous game against Dubai Capitals saw them register their first and only win of the tournament so far before losing to Abu Dhabi Knight Riders in their most recent encounter.

Dubai Capitals began their campaign with a win over the reigning champions MI Emirates before losing to the same opponent in their very next game. Losses to Sharjah Warriorz and the Giants followed but they managed to pull off the surprise of the season by handing the table toppers Vipers their only loss of the tournament.

Gulf Giants vs Dubai Capitals Prediction & Betting Tips 2024

We are backing last season’s top run scorer James Vince to go big in the match. Despite the Gulf Giants’ captain not setting the stage alight yet, he put up a lone fight against the Desert Vipers in Dubai with an unbeaten 76. Parimatch is offering odds of 1.85 for him to score above 22.5 runs in the match.

While Shai Hope is the tournament top scorer, we believe the Capitals’ wicketkeeper-batsman will fail with the bat in Dubai. The West Indian has only managed scores of 8 and 9 runs in his two matches in Dubai. We are expecting the Giants bowlers to send him packing early and condemn him to yet another single digit score at the venue.

Gulf Giants vs Dubai Capitals Betting Odds

Dubai Capitals’ openers to outclass Gulf Giants’ opening pair

In four matches played this season so far, Gulf Giants have been unable to set the platform at the top of the order. Their opening wicket stands this season reads 5, 2, 28, and 3. In contrast, the Dubai Capitals average 30 runs per match in their five games. Only once have the Dubai bowling unit allowed their opponents to score more than 30 runs for the opening wicket. Parimatch is offering odds of 1.96 for Dubai Capitals to post a better opening partnership and we find the odds very tempting.

Gulf Giants vs Dubai Capitals Top Batters

James Vince to be Gulf Giants’ top batsman

The Gulf Giants captain has been unable to replicate his form from last season this campaign. He showed glimpses of his talent against the Vipers om Dubai but failed to get going in the other three matches. Against the Capitals, however, Vince’s record reads 28, 32, 83*, 76.

Gulbadin Naib to be Dubai Capitals’ top batsman

While Shai Hope is the top run getter in the tournament so far, we are backing his teammate Gulbadin Naib to go big. In their most recent match in Dubai, the Afghanistani smashed five sixes and three fours to post an unbeaten 78 in just 51 balls. He’s our pick to be the Capitals’ best batter in the match.

Gulf Giants vs Dubai Capitals Top Bowlers

Mark Adair to be Gulf Giants’ top bowler

Irish medium pacer Mark Adair has taken 7 wickets in four games to become the team’s leading wicket-taker in the tournament. The 28-year-old conceded 45 runs in his previous match while taking just one wicket, but prior to that he had taken 2 wickets in each of his three games. Adair is our pick to trouble the Dubai Capitals bowler in the match.

Dushmantha Chameera to be Dubai Capitals’ top bowler

33-year-old pacer Dushmantha Chameera has only played three matches in the tournament so far, but has taken 7 wickets already. He has played a match in each of the three venues, but his best performance came in Dubai when he returned with figures of 3/26 against the early season pace-setters.
