Dubai Capitals vs Desert Vipers Tournament prediction & Betting Tips 2023

Dubai Capitals and Desert Vipers will lock horns against each other for the second time in the ongoing international League T20 tournament. The previous face-off between the teams saw Desert Vipers winning the game by 12 runs in a close encounter.

The Vipers will be playing their penultimate game of the league stage having won six out of eight matches before. They are at the top of the points table with 12 points to their name and have already qualified for the playoffs. Their aim now will be to finish the league stage in the top two of the points table.

The Dubai Capitals, on the other hand, are coming off a win over the Abu Dhabi Knight Riders.. However, they are still at the fifth position in the points table and cannot afford to slip in the remaining matches. The team is currently on seven points and need to win both their remaining matches to qualify for the playoffs.

Dubai Capitals finally arrested their losing streak in the last game with a win over Abu Dhabi Knight Riders. They are in a must-win situation after winning three matches in 8 outings so far this season.

Dubai Capitals vs Desert Vipers Head to Head

Dubai Capitals and Desert Vipers faced off previously once in the ongoing season. In that game, the Desert Vipers won by 12 runs as the Dubai Capitals failed to chase down 150 runs.

Dubai Capitals vs Desert Vipers Betting Odds

Dubai Capitals to hit more sixes at 2.16 odds

Desert Vipers have some fierce hitters of the ball in their line-up. The likes of Niroshan Dickwella, Dasun Shanaka and Rovman Powell love to smack the ball out of the park and the team also managed to hit a total of six sixes in the previous game. Hence, we predict the Dubai Capitals to hit more maximums at 2.16 odds.

Dubai Capitals vs Desert Vipers Top Team Batsmen

Alex Hales to be Desert Vipers top batter at 2.78 odds

Alex Hales has been in top form throughout this season. He has so far amassed 438 runs with a century and four fifties to his name. He failed in the previous outing but the batter will be eager to make amends in this game. We predict Hales to be Desert Vipers' top batter at 2.78 odds.

Rovman Powell to be Dubai Capitals top batter at 3.74 odds

Rovman Powell has batted at five on most occasions for the Capitals this season. But he is their top run-scorer thanks to his excellent form. He has so far scored 287 runs at an average of 57.40 and a strike rate of 169.82. The skipper is leading from the front and his form is crucial for the Capitals to make it to the playoffs.

Dubai Capitals vs Desert Vipers Top Bowlers

Wanindu Hasaranga to be Desert Vipers top bowler at 3.4 odds

This shouldn’t surprise many. Wanindu Hasaranga has played only six matches this season but is their top wicket-taker, accounting for 10 scalps so far. His economy of 7.04 shows how he has been tough to face. Hence, we predict Hasaranga to be Vipers' top bowler at 3.4 odds.

Adam Zampa to be Dubai Capitals top bowler at 3.3 odds

Dubai Capitals will be ruing the fact that Zampa wasn’t available for them earlier in the season. The leggie from Australia has been in excellent form in the last two matches. He has already picked six wickets in two outings conceding runs at an economy of only 4. For the same reason, we predict Zampa to be Dubai Capitals' top bowler at 3.3 odds.
