Head-to-Head

MI Emirates Form
The defending champions lost the tournament opener against Dubai Capitals by just one run.
Fazalhaq Farooqi (5/16, econ 4.00) was exceptional with the ball. Farooqi tore through the Capitals’ top-order, restricting them to 133/8 off their 20 overs.
A superb performance by all of the Capitals bowlers reduced the Emirates to 23/4. Nicholas Pooran (61 off 40) and Akeal Hosein (30 off 31) got the chase back on track but they fell one run short of their target.
MI Emirates Team News
The Emirates have a powerful batting line-up that is not likely to collapse again like they did in the opener against the Capitals.
Dubai Capitals Form
After losing last season’s final to the Emirates, the Capitals got some revenge by beating the Emirates in the opening match of this season.
Brandon McMullen (58 off 42 balls) was one of just two Capitals batters to pass 20 as the Capitals struggled to 133/8 off their 20 overs.
The Capitals bowlers reduced the Emirates to 23/4 in the 5th over thanks to Olly Stone (2/14). The Emirates middle-order rallied and were on track to pick up the win before Gulbadin Naib (3/13, econ 3.25) removed the dangerous pair of Pooran and Hosein within the space of three balls to setup a thrilling end to the match that saw the Capitals squeeze home by one run.
Dubai Capitals Team News
The Capitals have won three of the last four matches against the Emirates.
Verdict
I am backing MI Emirates to win. I am also backing Nicholas Pooran to top score for MI Emirates.
Brandon McMullen is a good bet to top score for the Dubai Capitals.
