DBC vs DV Match Prediction & Betting Tips - Feb 02, 2023
The Dubai Capitals will be taking on the Desert Vipers as the final few matches in the group stage of the International T20 2023 get played. The focus will be on locking up playoff spots and trying to make a final sprint toward the inaugural IL T20 2023 title.
The Desert Vipers have won six of their eight matches and have already qualified for the playoffs. The Dubai Capitals have only won three out of their eight matches and need to win both their remaining matches to have a chance of qualifying.
As can be expected, the Desert Vipers are the favorites heading into this contest.
DBC vs DV Team Previews
Dubai Capitals
The Dubai Capitals made some important changes to their batting lineup for the previous match and that helped them get over the line against the Abu Dhabi Knight Riders. George Munsey played an excellent knock of 57, Niroshan Dickwells was in good touch, and the middle order of Dasun Shanaka, Rovman Powell, and Sikandar Raza seems to be quite well-balanced as well.
In fact with the power game of Powell in full flow, the Dubai Capitals can be quite dangerous with the bat.
The addition of Adam Zampa has also made the bowling lineup of the Capitals quite formidable. Chamika Karunaratne, Fred Klaassen, and Sikandar Raza are the other bowlers in this bowling unit.
Dubai Capitals Playing 11
George Munsey, RV Uthappa, Sikandar Raza, Rovman Powell, Dasun Shanaka, Yusuf Pathan, Chamika Karunaratne, Luqman Hazrat, Fred Klaassen, Raja Akifullah Khan , Adam Zampa.
Desert Vipers
The best team of IL T20 2023 so far, the Desert Vipers, has surprised a lot of others with the consistency of their performances. We knew Alex Hales will win a few matches on his own but even when he has not been able to score runs, the Desert Vipers have found a way.
Yes, the Vipers are still dependent on Alex Hales but Sam Billings, Sherfane Rutherford, and Colin Munro have also shown themselves capable of picking up the slack when Hales has an off day.
The T20 bowling smarts of Wanindu Hasaranga and Benny Howell are well-established with Sheldon Cottrell and Luke Wood to round out the attack. The Desert Vipers will be relaxed going into this match could end up making a few changes since they have already qualified for the Finals.

Rohan Mustafa, Alex Hales, Colin Munro, Sam Billings, Sherfane Rutherford, Wanidu Hasaranga, Tom Curran, Gus Atkinson, Luke Wood, Sheldon Cottrell, Sheraz Piya.

Pitch and Conditions
There is no rain forecast in Dubai and we should not have any interruptions. The pitch has been good for batting and remained the same throughout the IL T20 2023 tournament. We think something around 170 is going to be par for both teams batting first.
DBC vs DV Betting Tips
We think the Dubai Capitals have a good chance of causing an upset in this contest. They have a strong batting lineup and the addition of Adam Zampa has made them quite dangerous with the ball. There is also the likelihood of the Desert Vipers making a couple of changes to their lineup for this match.
Bet on the Dubai Capitals to win.
