TEAMS PREVIEW
Gulf Giants Preview
Following back-to-back defeats, Gulf Giants finally turned things around with a timely win over the Dubai Capitals. The result would have injected fresh energy into the team as they look to build momentum for the rest of the tournament.
Captain James Vince has been their leading performer with 89 runs in three innings, showcasing his knack for scoring under pressure. His form in recent games makes him the key player for the Giants as they push to improve their position on the table.
Shimron Hetmyer, who has collected 85 runs from three games, can swing matches in his team’s favor and will be eager to deliver another strong showing. Jordan Cox also brings valuable firepower at the top, making him a player to watch.
Mark Adair has been a dependable option with the ball, picking up six wickets in three outings at an economy of 6.16. Blessing Muzarabani will need to step up and take on more responsibility, especially with the bowling attack lacking depth and experience.
Gulf Giants Predicted Playing XI:
James Vince (c), Jordan Cox (wk), Ibrahim Zadran, Shimron Hetmyer, Gerhard Erasmus, Aayan Afzal Khan, Mark Adair, Tymal Mills, Wahidullah Zadran, Blessing Muzarabani, Muhammad Uzair Khan

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS
Weather Conditions
Early on at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium, batsmen usually find things pretty comfortable; the ball tends to zip onto the bat quite well. But as the innings progress, expect the spinners to come into play more, especially later in the game. Quicks who can really bang the ball into the pitch could get a little something extra in of bounce, though overall, it’s a pitch made for aggressive batting.
Looking at the forecast for Dubai, we're expecting beautiful, clear skies, so there's no worry of rain stopping play. It comes to around the same number of words.
