ILT20 2024 Match 27, VIP vs DUB: Team Previews

Desert Vipers

Desert Vipers is yet to register two wins on the trot as their uneven campaign has yielded them just three victories against five defeats from eight ILT20 2024 league fixtures. They are currently placed at number five on the six-team ILT20 2024 points table, finding themselves just above Dubai Capitals owing to a slightly superior NRR.

Desert Vipers’ top-order is yet to collectively fire this season, with big names like Alex Hales and Colin Munro cracking just three half-centuries between them. Bowling department seems more balanced at the moment, with senior pros like Wanindu Hasaranga, Mohammad Amir and Shaheen Afridi making constant impacts with the ball.

However, Hasaranga and Shaheen Afridi are no longer part of their setup and Desert Vipers will have to find away to deliver without their superstars.

Dubai Capitals

Australian legend David Warner has failed to inspire his Dubai Capitals troops, both with the bat and as a leader. As of now, they are placed at the bottom of the ILT20 2024 points table, with just three wins to their name from eight fixtures.

Star attraction Warner has managed to tally just 115 runs at the top of the order at a substandard average of 14.37. Fortunately for Warner and the Capitals, Zimbabwean import Sikandar Raza and Englishman Sam Billing have stood up to the task with clutch run-making at critical junctures. While Dushmantha Chameera has played his part with the ball, no other bowler has managed to trouble the opposition’s batting line-up. As it turns out, the Capitals will be taking field without Chameera as the Sri Lanka speedster is slated to honor his national commitments.

ILT20 2024 Match 27, VIP vs DUB: Dubai Pitch Report

The conditions at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium are generally known to favour spinners, with something on offer for the batters as well, especially upon settling in. The venue has hosted six matches so far this season, where teams batting first have managed to amass over 160-run totals on five of those occasions. The average first innings total this year has emerged in the range of mid-160s. The captain winning the toss will likely opt to field first, considering the chasing sides have won four out of the six ILT20 2024 fixtures in Dubai.
