In the bowling department, left-arm pacers Obed McCoy and Scott Kuggeleijn will lead the pace attack. Local players Akif Raja and left-arm spinner Haider Ali will be crucial to the Capitals' success. However, the Capitals' bowling lineup appears somewhat thin, potentially posing a challenge against the powerful MI Emirates batting unit.

Fazalhaq Farooqui and Fared Malik are expected to take care of pace bowling responsibilities alongside their all-rounders. Akeal Hossain and Allah Ghazanfar will be their spinners. In the bowling departments, they have a good mix of experience and youth.

Average TurnDubai is expected to be a placid track and the early moisture might help the bowlers to move the ball. We expect the average scores to be in the range of 160-180 runs in this match.
Both teams will look to bat first and post a big score. Both skippers will be unaware of the playing conditions for this match.
The defending champions, MI Emirates, have a well-balanced and settled line-up, while the Dubai Capitals lack a quality bowling attack, which could prove to be the difference maker. For this fixture, we are backing MI Emirates to come out on top.
