Topmost Picks for DCP vs VIP Dream11 Prediction:

Top Picks – Dubai Capitals

• Rahmanullah Gurbaz –  Gurbaz finely started the ILT20 2024 but has been out of touch since then. The Capitals will now be very tense about the form of their main batters.
• Dushmantha Chameera – Dushmantha Chameera can swing the ball at pace and can create trouble for batters if he puts the ball in right area. However, bowling in dew is not easy for the bowlers.

Top Picks – Desert Vipers

• Alex Hales – Alex Hales scored 61 against Sharjah Warriors but endured a poor outing against MIE. Hales has been inconsistent and that should be a concern for Vipers.
• Wanindu Hasaranga – Hasaranga has been excellent with the ball. He has taken seven wickets in five matches at an incredible economy of less than 7.

Suggested Playing XI N0.1 for DCP vs VIP Dream11 Team:

Rahmanullah Gurbaz, Sam Billings, Azam Khan, David Warner(VC), Colin Munro, Wanindu Hasaranga(C), Jason Holder, Roelof van der Merwe, Sikandar Raza, Shaheen Afridi, Luke Wood

Suggested Playing XI N0.2 for DCP vs VIP Dream11 Team:

Rahmanullah Gurbaz, Andries Gous, David Warner, Jake Fraser-McGurk, Laurie Evans, Andre Russell, Sikandar Raza(C), Jason Holder(VC), Sunil Narine, Ali Khan, Dushmantha Chameera

Captain and Vice-Captain Options:

Captain – Wanindu Hasaranga, Sikandar Raza

Vice-captain – David Warner, Jason Holder

Wicketkeeper – Rahmanullah Gurbaz

DCP vs VIP Probable Winners:

Andries Gous enters this match after hitting 95 not out on Sunday and 123 runs without being dismissed in his last two innings, albeit across different venues, formats, and tournaments. We believe that his form will be important. We predict that Desert Vipers will win. Considering the team combination, Desert Vipers is expected to win this match.
