Kandy Samp Army vs Dubai Giants Betting Tips

Dubai Giants to score low before first dismissal

Dubai Giants’ achilles heel seems to be their first wicket partnership since they are unable to make any combination work. Having tested out a multitude of players as openers, they have been quite unpredictable and it is evident in their scores of 9, 27, 0 and 12 runs before their first dismissal. Without a stable top order, the team cannot be expected to secure a decent opening partnership.

Kandy Samp Army vs Dubai Giants Betting Odds

Kandy Samp Army to have a better opening partnership than Dubai Giants @ 1.85 (Parimatch)

Dubai Giants have had lackluster opening partnerships since the beginning of the tournament. In their first four matches of the season, the opening duo have amassed 12, 0, 27 and 9 runs so far. They are highly inconsistent in their performance and it could be attributed to the fact that their openers are subject to change. Kandy Samp Army’s openers have also been rotational with Aaron Finch as their mainstay but the team’s opening stands have been much better in comparison, having scored 20, 22 and 39 runs in the first three matches. Kandy Samp Army are in a significantly better place and will be expected to establish a better first wicket partnership than Dubai Giants.
