TEAMS PREVIEW
Gulf Giants Preview
Gulf Giants kicked off their season with a narrow 7-wicket loss to Sharjah Warriorz, who chased down 175 on the final ball of the innings.
Looking to bounce back, the Giants will depend on captain James Vince to step up, much like he did last year. Vince led the team with 356 runs across 12 innings and is entering this tournament after an impressive BBL campaign, averaging 45.60.
Shimron Hetmyer is another player who can shift the momentum with his power-hitting, while Jordan Cox and Adam Lyth add depth and consistency to the batting order.
On the bowling front, Mark Adair and Blessing Muzarabani have proven dependable, each taking two wickets in the opening game. Tymal Mills and Rehan Ahmed add further options, capable of striking at key moments during the middle overs.
Gulf Giants Predicted Playing XI:
James Vince (c), Jordan Cox, Adam Lyth, Shimron Hetmyer, Oliver Robinson (wk), Mark Adair, Saghir Khan, Aayan Afzal Khan, Daniel Worrall, Rehan Ahmed, Tymal Mills

Desert Vipers Preview
Desert Vipers opened their season with a dominant 7-wicket victory over Abu Dhabi Knight Riders, comfortably chasing 168 in 18.3 overs. Daniel Lawrence played a key role with a quickfire 70 from 39 balls, while Sam Curran anchored the innings with a composed 50 not out off 37 deliveries.
The Vipers are loaded with batting talent, offering plenty of firepower throughout the order. Although Alex Hales wasn’t at his best in the first game, his recent unbeaten 113 in the Bangladesh Premier League is a reminder of what he can deliver. Fakhar Zaman, Sherfane Rutherford, and Curran can all pile on runs when they settle in at the crease.
On the bowling side, Mohammad Amir and Lockie Ferguson will be counted on to make an impact with the new ball. Ferguson comes into this season after a solid run in the BBL, where he took 8 wickets in 6 matches at an economy rate of 7.16. With Luke Wood and Curran also in the mix, the Vipers have a strong bowling lineup capable of keeping opposition batters in check.

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS
Weather Conditions
The surface at Dubai International Cricket Stadium tends to favor batters early on, with the ball coming onto the bat nicely under the lights. As the game progresses, spinners often find some grip, especially in the second innings. Pacers who hit the deck hard can extract extra bounce, but overall, stroke play dominates here. Dew in the evening can make chasing easier, putting captains in a tricky spot at the toss.
The weather in Dubai will be clear and pleasant with no forecast of any rain to disrupt the match.

Winning Prediction
Desert Vipers have made a strong start to the season and appear to have a well-rounded squad with depth in most areas. On the other hand, Gulf Giants don't seem as strong as they were last year, and their opening loss may have shaken their confidence. The Vipers have come out on top in both previous meetings with the Giants, and we expect them to keep their winning momentum going in this clash.
We are backing Desert Vipers as the winners of this game.
