DBC vs SW Match Prediction - Jan 21, 2023

The International League T20 2023 has been divided clearly into two halves with the top-3 teams unbeaten so far and the bottom three with just one combined win among them. This next match is between the Dubai Capitals and the Sharjah Warriors, both teams that are firmly in the bottom half of the standings. 

The Sharjah Warriors have played and lost all three of their matches so far while the Dubai Capitals have won one out of their three. The cricket betting sites have the Sharjah Warriors as the favorites to win this contest by a small margin. 

DBC vs SW Team Previews

Dubai Capitals

The Dubai Capitals need to take some tough decisions and get their batting order right otherwise they are going to sink deeper and deeper away from the qualification zone. They are basically carrying Yusuf Pathan in their lineup right now and even Joe Root is becoming more of a liability than an asset at the top of the order. 

Players that are in form like Robin Uthappa, Rovman Powell, Dasun Shanaka, and even Chamika Karunaratne need to play the bulk of the overs. 

The batting has underperformed so far and there is no reason why someone like Fabian Allen would be so underutilized. We think if the Capitals are able to make the necessary changes to their lineup, they can be a real force to reckon with but otherwise, they are going to continue to struggle. 

The bowling lineup for the Dubai Capitals is not great either. Mujeeb ur Rahman is the only bowler that you can really depend on. Others like Fabian Allen, Isuru Udana, Akif Raja, and the two all-rounders are all decent without being exceptional. 

Teams will feel that they can take on the Dubai Capitals bowling and put it under pressure.

Sharjah Warriors

On paper, the Sharjah Warriors have an excellent batting lineup with some very big names leading them. Moeen Ali, Dawid Malan, Rahmanullah Gurbaz, and Mohammad Nabi are all top tier T20 batters. IL T20 2023 has not been their season so far, though, and bettors need to take their recent form into consideration. 

Dawid Malan has 32 runs in three innings at a strike rate of 78.04, Moeen Ali has 35 runs at a strike rate of 100, and Mohammad Nabi has 38 runs at a strike rate of 115.15. These are strikingly poor numbers from the core of the batting lineup. 

Other players like Tom Kohler-Cadmore and Chris Woakes have stepped up but so far, the batting remains unconvincing and we are not sure settling for poorer odds on this batting unit makes sense. 

Naveen ul Haq, Noor Ahmad, and Junaid Siddique are the leading bowlers for the Sharjah Warriors. Mohammad Nabi and Moeen Ali have bowled surprisingly few overs in the IL T20 so far and that is also hampering the team. 

The potential on paper has not translated into performances so far and the leadership from Moeen Ali has been quite disappointing.

Pitch and Conditions

The weather in the desert is quite consistent and we can be almost 100% certain that there will be no interruptions in this match either. The pitch in Dubai has played quite evenly so far. The batters have had the upper hand but it has not been a one-way street. Scores of around 170 have been quite competitive and that should be the case once more. 

DBC vs SW Betting Tips

The Dubai Capitals started with a lot of promise but then lost their way. They are now the underdogs at all the best cricket betting sites coming into this match. We think this is a good opportunity to take advantage of the odds. The Dubai Capitals need to reorganize a bit and come out with better intent, something that can be done quite easily. We also think their batters will enjoy taking on the Sharjah Warriors. 

Bet on the Dubai Capitals to win.
