The Dubai Capitals and the Gulf Giants will play each other for the second time in succession as the International League T20 2023 continues. The first match was an exciting high-scoring affair that went in favor fo the Gulf Giants. It is a bit of a surprise to see then that the Dubai Capitals are being priced as the favorite at most cricket betting sites. 

Let us take a closer look at the two teams and their performances so far. 

Match prediction and cricket betting tips for Dubai Capitals vs Gulf Giants IL T20 2023. The match will be played at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium, Sharjah on the 19th of January 2023. 

DBC vs GGT Team Previews

Dubai Capitals

Robin Uthappa has been in brilliant form for the Dubai Capitals and top-scored with 79 in the previous match as well. His runs came at a strike rate of just 171.74, which is incredible, and set p the stage for his team to reach a big total. 

Rovman Powell is also in very good form. He smashed another three sixes in this match (he had three in the previous one as well) and moved himself to the top of the order because the situation demanded it. These two batters will be the main threat for the Dubai Capitals in this match as well.

Sikandar Raza has left the team to rejoin Zimbabwe ahead of their ODI series against Ireland and that will be a big loss. Dasun Shanaka has linked up with the Capitals but he still needs to prove himself in T20 leagues around the world. Joe Root was run out and will also be looking to make the most of his chances in the upcoming matches. 

The batting lineup for the Dubai Capitals is strong but just one or two early wickets could leave it in trouble. 

Mujeeb ur Rahman was the standout bowler for the Dubai Capitals in the previous match that they played as well. He has not had much support from the others and now with Sikandar Raza not in the frame, he is going to be even more important to the Capitals.

Gulf Giants

The Gulf Giants have so far ridden on the coattails of James Vince. He has 148 runs in two matches, easily the most for any player in IL T20 2023 so far, and is in terrific form. He is also clearing the boundaries with ease and has the most sixes to his name as well. 

Vince may not have the kind of support that you would expect in a top T20 team but we think the Gulf Giants have a decent lineup. Rehan Ahmed has been aggressive at the top, Ollie Pope is world-class, and Gerhard Erasmus has been brilliant in the previous match. 

Shimron Hetmyer and David Wiese are both excellent finishers and have not had much to do so far. The manner in which the Gulf Giants are using their resources is quite brilliant. This brings us to their real strength, the bowling unit. 

Richard Gleeson, Chris Jordan, Rehan Ahmed, David Wiese, and Liam Dawson are all excellent in this format of the game and will ask tough questions in every match. Sanchit Sharma has also been quite good in the tournament and seems to have a knack of picking up wickets.

Pitch and Conditions

One advantage of playing in the desert is that you do not have to worry about the weather. There is no rain predicted and we do not expect any interruptions. A total of around 170 is par batting first but we think teams may be aiming a bit higher. The small boundaries in Sharjah allow sixes to be hit but the surface has been slower and helped the spinners in the recent past. 

DBC vs GGT Betting Tips

The Gulf Giants are playing smart T20 cricket and making the most of their resources. We think they have a good chance of winning against the Dubai Capitals. The Gulf Giants have a good mix of batting firepower throughout their lineup and their bowling attack is absolutely world-class. 

Bet on the Gulf Giants to win.
