GG vs DC Match Prediction & Analysis
Dubai Capitals failed to defend a 201-run total in their last match at Sharjah against the Warriorz. It was the highest-ever chase in International League T20 history. Sikandar Raza will be disappointed with his team’s bowling efforts.
They’ve got a great variety in the bowling attack. Their first win of the season came while defending 133 runs in Dubai. Gulf Giants will be looking at this game as a great opportunity to secure their first points of ILT20 2025.
Their batting collapse in the last match was on a difficult batting pitch in Dubai. The venue change should give them some hope. Sharjah has smaller boundaries and looking at the recent game here, the pitch also seems pretty decent for batting.
James Vince and Shimron Hetmyer will be the key players in this lineup. For the Capitals, Shai Hope is in sublime form at the top while Rovman Powell will be the finisher to watch out for.

TEAMS PREVIEW
Gulf Giants Preview
Giants have experimented with Rehan Ahmed in their first two games. That has been the highlight of their batting so far. They posted a decent total in their opening game but lost by 3 wickets while defending it.
The right-arm leg-break bowler promoted to bat at number 3 scored a quickfire 46 off 27 balls. Rehan Ahmed’s partnership with Jordan Cox helped put the Gulf Giants back on track after they had lost two early wickets.
Shimron Hetmyer was also crucial at number 5 in helping his side finish on a high. However, none of these batters could manage even a double-digit score in the second outing as the Giants finished with 119 for 9.
James Vince and Adam Lyth are the most experienced batters in this side and as openers, they’ve got a key role to play in the lineup. The pitch conditions here should help them make a comeback and get the Giants off to a flier.
Mark Adair, the fast bowler from Ireland, is also handy with the bat lower down the order. We expect Hettmyer, Cox, and Oliver Robinson to find their rhythm in this game.
Mark Adair and Tymall Mills will lead the pace attack for the Gulf Giants. They will have a tough challenge at their hands as they come to Sharjah. Rehan Ahmed can expect to find some help from the surface.
Gulf Giants Predicted Playing XI:
Adam Lyth, James Vince (c), Jordan Cox, Shimron Hetmyer, Oliver Robinson (wk), Mark Adair, Saghir Khan, Aayan Afzal Khan, Daniel Worrall, Rehan Ahmed, Tymal Mills

Dubai Capitals Preview
Shai Hope carried his form to Sharjah as he scored an unbeaten 83 off 52 balls that propelled Dubai Capitals to 201 runs. His 101 off 59 balls in the previous match was in a losing cause as no other batter stepped up to play the ing role while chasing 188 runs in Abu Dhabi.
Brendon McMullen and Sikandar Raza are the middle-order batters responsible for key partnerships that ensure the Capitals stay on course to victory in a run chase. They’ve got many all-rounders in the side that not only add variety to the bowling attack but also depth in the batting order.
Rovman Powell at number 5 is followed by Dasun Shanaka and Gulbadin Naib. Each of these 3 batsmen is capable of hitting the long ball and scoring quick runs at the death.
The aging Ben Dunk replaced Adam Rossington, but hasn’t looked in good shape in his two outings. In the bowling department, Olly Stone and Obed McCoy are the key pacers for Dubai Capitals.
The right-arm fast Sri Lanka bowler, Dushmantha Chameera is also a promising bowler to watch out for in this squad. The Capitals will be under pressure after their recent loss while defending a highly competitive total at this venue.
Dubai Capitals Predicted Playing XI:
Ben Dunk, Shai Hope (wk), Brandon McMullen, Sikandar Raza (c), Rovman Powell, Dasun Shanaka, Gulbadin Naib, Olly Stone, Akif Raja, Dushmantha Chameera, Haider Ali

It will be cloudy in Sharjah around the game time though there are no signs of rain and we can expect another high-scoring thriller between two teams desperate for a win.

High Turn
The flat pitch in addition to the smaller boundaries will make Sharjah a batting paradise. Considering the outcome of the last game here, we can expect the pitch to play out similarly in this match as well. Unless a different pitch is used for this game, we reckon the batters will continue to dominate.
The average 1st innings score in the last 10 T20s here is 129 runs. However, looking at how the pitch behaved in the last game, we reckon anything below 190 will not be safe on this ground.
Toss: To Bowl
Teams bowling first have won 6 of the last 10 T20 matches played at this venue in Sharjah. If the pitch offers pace and hasn’t got much turn, batters will have a great time in both innings. Considering the batting depth in both sides, we reckon the skippers will look to bowl first and chase a target.

Winning Prediction
While both teams have lost their last two matches, the Capitals have looked in better shape with the bat. Moreover, Dubai Capitals also have a stronger batting lineup with some promising and experienced players at key positions. Giants also feature a solid opening pair and a great finisher.
It can go down to the wire and both teams have a great chance of securing a win in this match. However, Dubai Capitals, with their overall squad strength, have a slight edge in our match prediction and start as favorites to win.
