DBC vs DV Match Prediction & Betting Tips - Jan 28, 2023
Desert Vipers are in an excellent position in the IL T20 2023 with four wins out of five. They have two games in hand over the Gulf Giants, the only team to sit above them in the league table at the moment, and a win in this match will see them go top.
Standing in their way are the Dubai Capitals. A poor IL T20 campaign so far has seen them win just two out of their six matches and they sit second from the bottom on the league table.
DBC vs DV Team Previews
Dubai Capitals
Almost all of the batting power will have to come from players like Joe Root and Rovman Powell because the rest of the batting has not been reliable enough. Both Root and Powell are in good form with a couple of excellent knocks behind them.
Mujeeb ur Rahman is the bowler that you want to watch out for when it comes to the Dubai Capitals. He may not have picked up too many wickets but he is by far the most accomplished of the lot. We think he Dubai Capitals are a bit imbalanced and have made some strange recruitment choices including picking Robin Uthappa and Yusuf Patahn in their lineup.
Dubai Capitals Playing 11
Rovman Powell, Hazratullah Zazai, RV Uthappa, Chirag Suri, Yusuf Pathan, Dasun Shanaka, Sikandar Raza, Adam Zampa, Raja Akifullah Khan , Jake Ball, Fred Klaassen.
Desert Vipers
Desert Vipers have been propelled by the seemingly unstoppable Alex Hales so far. he has scored runs in almost every match and is the highest scorer of IL T20 2023 by a fair distance. Colin Munro, Sam Billings, and Sherfane Rutherford are also quite decent with the bat giving the Desert Vipers an advantage in the batting department.
When it comes to the the bowling lineup, Wanindu Hasaranga and Tom Curran (both of whom also bat quite well) will lead the lineup with support from Sheldon Cottrell and Matheesha Pathirana.

DBC vs DV Betting Tips
We think the Desert Vipers have an excellent chance of winning this match as well. They have a stronger batting lineup with more power. Their bowling lineup is also superior when compared to the Dubai Capitals. It is clear now that the Dubai Capitals did not recruit properly and are paying the price for that.
Bet on the Desert Vipers to win.
