Dubai Capitals Betting Analysis

Dubai Capitals will hope that Adam Rossington can get them off to a fast start with the bat. Rossington is a natural big-hitter at the top of the order and capable of comfortably clearing the boundary rope on any ground. With the field up, expect him to take some chances and consider backing Rossington to hit over 0.5 match sixes.

MI Emirates Betting Analysis

Assuming Nicholas Pooran is available here for MI Emirates, then his speed of batting is likely to prove important for his side. A world class white ball batter, Pooran should do extremely well on the surfaces of Dubai and bettors should explore backing him to shine in this opening game, specifically with a stake on Pooran to finish as MI Emirates’ top batter.

Dubai Capitals vs MI Emirates Expert Prediction

A close curtain raiser is on the cards between these two sides in what is a rematch of last year’s final. MI Emirates’ strength-in-depth within their batting order is likely to be important, whilst their bowling looks good all-round. They may well be in a better place to get off to a better start than Dubai Capitals and backing MI Emirates to win appears the sensible move to make.
