ADKR vs DV Match Prediction - Jan 20, 2023

The Abu Dhabi Knight Riders have lost all three of their matches in the International League T20 2023 season. They are going to be playing their next game against the Desert Vipers, against whom they also played their most recent match. The Desert Vipers have won both of their matches and are enjoying a much better start to their IL T20 campaign. 

The cricket betting sites have the Desert Vipers as the favorites to win once more but the odds on offer are not as short as we had expected them to be. 

ADKR vs DV Team Previews

Abu Dhabi Knight Riders

Abu Dhabi Knight Riders have now had three consecutive losses thanks to three straight batting failures. A change in personnel also did not bring any advantage as the Knight Riders lost wickets constantly and never got ahead of the game. 

Brandon King, Kennar Lewis, Dhananjaya de SIlva, and Colin Ingram are a decent if not top-notch batting order. They are followed by Andre Russell, Charith Asalanka, and Sunil Narine. Once again, these are excellent players that should not be failing repeatedly. 

Still, you have the evaluate a team on its current form and right now, the Abu Dhabi Knight Riders are struggling massively for their runs. 

Sunil Narine and Akeal Hosein were the best bowlers for the Knight Riders in the previous match. It is easy to see how these bowlers could cause a lot more trouble for the opposition batters with some runs to defend. The bowling unit as a whole has been decent and is not the main problem for the team right now.

Desert Vipers

The Desert Vipers were propelled by a brilliant bowling display from Wanindu Hasaranga, who picked up three wickets for just 12 runs in his three overs, and ensured that they only had to chase a small total. Sheldon Cottrell and Tom Curran also bowled very well without the kind of wickets that they may have expected. 

There are a lot of very experienced T20 bowlers in the Desert Vipers lineup and we think they have a good chance of putting in another strong performance against the struggling batting lineup of the Abu Dhabi Knight Riders. 

The batting lineup for the Desert Vipers has leaned heavily on Alex Hales so far. He has been the best batter for them in the two matches that they have played along with solid support from Sam Billings. Colin Munro and Sherfane Rutherford are the other leading batters with Shimron Hetmyer also available for selection in the squad. 

The Desert Vipers look well-rounded at the moment and should be looking for another win in this contest.

ADKR vs DV Toss Prediction

The team that wins the toss is likely to want to field first. Dew has not been a major factor in the IL T20 2023 so far but chasing in UAE is never the less a big advantage.

Pitch and Conditions

There is no rain predicted, as is normally the case in the UAE, and we should have no interruptions. The pitch in Abu Dhabi is also very flat with not much help for the bowlers. The average score at this venue has been around 170 and that is the minimum that teams batting first will be aiming for. 

ADKR vs DV Betting Tips

The Abu Dhabi Knight Riders have lost all three of their matches. You expect them to get on the board sooner rather than later but it is difficult to back them right now. The Desert Vipers appear to be stronger in all aspects of the game and with two wins in two matches, are also in a good state of mind. 

Bet on the Desert Vipers to win.
