Abu Dhabi Knight Riders vs Dubai Capitals Predictions


The Knight Riders have been more consistent than the Capitals. They come into this match after a great win over the MI Emirates by 42 runs.

  • Abu Dhabi Knight Riders’ Alishan Sharafu hit seven fours and one six in his 55 against the Emirates.
  • Abu Dhabi Knight Riders’ Andries Gous has scored 36, 34 & 27 in his last 5 innings.

Head-to-Head


The Capitals have won two of their three matches against the Knight Riders, including the Eliminator.

Abu Dhabi Knight Riders Form


The Knight Riders bounced back from a 28-run loss to the Emirates to beat them by 42 runs in the return fixture.

Alishan Sharafu (55 off 38 balls) was the backbone of the Knight Riders’ 182/7 off their 20 overs. 

Kyle Mayers (3/25) tore through the Emirates top order to reduce them to 36/4 in the sixth over. The Emirates never recovered and ended on 140/6 off their 20 overs. 

Abu Dhabi Knight Riders Team News


The Knight Riders are playing well and are unlikely to make any changes to their starting XI.

Dubai Capitals Form


The Capitals made it two wins on the bounce when they beat the Gulf Giants by five wickets.

The Capitals attack bowled superbly to restrict the Giants to 153/5 off their 20 overs. Sikandar Raza (0/22, econ 5.50) was the most economical of the Capitals bowlers.

Shai Hope (47) got the innings off to a great start, but it was the late rally from Sikandar Raza (26* from 15) and Dasun Shanaka (34 off 10 balls, with three fours and three sixes).

Dubai Capitals Team News


The Capitals have found some form and should give the Knight Riders a good fight.

Verdict

I am backing Abu Dhabi Knight Riders to win. I am also backing Alishan Sharafu to top score for Abu Dhabi Knight Riders.

Shai Hope is a good bet to top score for the Dubai Capitals.
