Desert Vipers vs Dubai Capitals Expert Prediction

The key factor in this match-up will be how seriously Desert Vipers want to win. With seven wins from nine and 14 points to their name, first-place is already theirs. They may look to rest a number of important players here against Dubai Capitals, who sit in fourth-place on net-run-rate but know that a win would see them leapfrog both Sharjah Warriorz and MI Emirates in the table.

Motivation has to be significantly higher on Dubai Capitals’ part. The Vipers surely won’t want to exert themselves too heavily ahead of the play-offs, especially on the bowling front and it would be no surprise to see Dubai ultimately take advantage. Therefore, back the Capitals to grab their second spot.
