Dubai Capitals Betting Analysis
Dubai Capitals have been huge beneficiaries of Shai Hope’s recent form with the bat and they’ll be hoping for one more big innings in a Capitals shirt this season from the West Indies international. Hope has racked up 484 runs this campaign and needs just ten more to become the highest run-scorer of the entire tournament. With that in mind, consider backing Hope to accrue over 22.5 match runs.
Desert Vipers Betting Analysis
A consistent performer in the T20 Blast last year, David Payne is a key part of this Desert Vipers side dominated by English players. His left-arm medium-fast bowling varies in pace and boasts consistent accuracy, making Payne a huge wicket-taking threat. His two scalps against Sharjah Warriorz last time out proved crucial and the Gloucestershire star is well worth backing to register another 2+ wickets here, as he’s expected to be entrusted with the ball in key phases such as the powerplay.
Dubai Capitals vs Desert Vipers Expert Prediction
The crowd at the Dubai International Stadium should be right behind the Capitals over the course of this final. Dubai defeated Desert Vipers by five wickets in the first qualifier, that game going right to the last ball and this rematch is likely to be another thrilling encounter. But when taking into account that the Capitals now boast three wins from three against the Vipers this season, that tips the scales in Dubai’s favour with them having a clear edge over their opponents. Back Sam Billings’ side to make it four from four and secure the Dubai Capitals’ first ILT20 title.
