Gulf Giants vs MI Emirates Betting Tips
Gulf Giants to score under 19.5 runs before 1st dismissal
The Gulf Giants have a strong batting unit. Their openers did a very good job in the initial games but lost track in the games after that. The team posted the scores of 61, 48, 6, 4, 2, 5, 9 & 11 runs before their first dismissal in five games. Jamie Smith and James Vince open for the team and average at 12.12 & 23.62 respectively in the competition. The duo looked in good form in the first few games but were unable to cope up with the bowling attack as the tournament progressed. In their last meeting this season, Gulf Giants scored 48 runs before losing out on their first wicket. However, a lot has changed since then. MI Emirates took control of their bowling order and delivered impressive performances one after another.
Match Prediction Best Odds
Gulf Giants vs MI Emirates Toss Prediction
The pitches of the Dubai International Stadium are surprisingly not batter-friendly, with the average T20 score being around 150-160. The boundaries too aren’t the smallest here, with it being over 70m down the ground. The pace support provided by this pitch makes it much more difficult to score big runs. But history has shown that if the side batting first gets to a big score, the sides chasing usually capitulate under pressure.
Weather Report
With a maximum temperature of 23.0°C, there is no chance of rain during the matches. The day will remain mostly sunny with a few patches of cloudy cover.

Gulf Giants vs MI Emirates Betting Odds
MI Emirates looks unstoppable at this point in the tournament. Not only do they have two of the highest run-scorers (Nicholas Pooran and Muhammad Waseem) and two of the highest wicket-takers (Fazalhaq Farooqi and Trent Boult) of the tournament, they are in magnificent form, winning four out of five of their last matches. They are the clear favourites in this match. While the Gulf Giants have not been bad by any stretch of the imagination in this tournament, they certainly have been inconsistent. To win against the mighty MI Emirates, both – bowling and batting will have to fire, which is unlikely from what we have seen of the Giants this season.
In their last clash, MI Emirates batted first and secured 179 runs in the game. Nicholas Pooran scored 51 runs for MIE and was the top scorer from the side.

James Vince scored 52 runs whereas the remaining batters went out cheaply. Fazalhaq Farooqi was the top bowler from MIE with 4 wickets in the game.
