DC vs DV, ILT20 2025 Preview
Dubai Capitals is languishing at the bottom of the ILT20 2025 points table for securing just a solitary win from four matches. With three heavy defeats to MI Emirates, Sharjah Warriorz and Gulf Giants, all in succession, the Capitals current NRR reads a dismal -0.776. Amidst their lacklustre campaign, blistering top-order batter Shai Hope has emerged as one of the leading run-getters of the season with over 200 runs at a prolific average of 68.33. With the ball, Gulbadin Naib and Olly Stone have ably helmed the team’s pace attack.
The Desert Vipers, led by New Zealand fast bowler Lockie Ferguson, is yet to lose a single match this ILT20 2025 season. With four wins in four games, the Vipers are ranked at the top of the ILT20 2025 points table with a formidable NRR of 1.217. Much of the Vipers’ success can be attributed to the prolific batting brilliance of Sam Curran, Dan Lawrence, Alex Hales and Fakhar Zaman. Captain Ferguson, meanwhile, has successfully commanded his team’s bowling attack alongside fellow pacer Mohammad Amir and spinner Wanindu Hasaranga.

Pitch Report: The playing conditions at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium will offer some assistance to fast bowlers upfront, especially with the new ball. However, batters can haul big totals by capitalizing once the surface eases out in the middle and slog overs. The possible dew factor may make it difficult for the spinners to grip the ball during the second innings. The average first innings total at the venue this ILT20 2025 season has turned out to be 156 so far.
