MI Emirates vs Gulf Giants Betting Tips
Gulf Giants to score over 20.5 runs before 1st dismissal (1.85@Parimatch)
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 eight games. Jamie Smith and James Vince opened for the team initially. Jordan Cox replaced Jamie Smith in the opening position and has played alongside James Vince since the last two games. The duo, together, posted the scores of 44 & 103 runs for their opening partnership in the last two games. Vince and Cox average at 29.80 & 23.55. The duo looked in good form and will be hoping to continue their form in their next game. In their last meeting this season, Gulf Giants scored 44 runs before losing out on their first wicket.
Match Prediction Best Odds
MI Emirates vs Gulf Giants 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. 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. The skipper will be looking to bat first here.
Weather Report
Although there was some rain across the UAE on Sunday, it should all have cleared up ahead of this game on Tuesday. There could be the odd cloud earlier in the day but by the evening you can expect clear skies with the temperature in the mid-twenties throughout.

MI Emirates vs Gulf Giants Head-to-Head Record

MI Emirates vs Gulf Giants Betting Odds
In this season's matchups, Emirates and Giants stand at 1-1. Emirates claimed victory in their first encounter, defending a target of 180 by 18 runs in Abu Dhabi. However, last week in Dubai, the Giants secured a thrilling win by five runs, restricting Emirates to 153/7 after posting 158/7 in the first innings, thanks to a remarkable effort by Jordan Thompson in the final over.
MI Emirates are facing a shortage of backup options, particularly due to the absence of key players Nicholas Pooran and Fazalhaq Farooqi. Kusal Perera made an impact in the last game and is likely to return to the starting XI, with Rayudu playing a role as an impact player.
Meanwhile, the Giants enter the Qualifier with momentum, having won four consecutive games. It's probable they will stick with the same lineup that brought them success in their recent league matches.
