Topmost Picks for MIE vs GUL Dream11 Prediction:

Top Picks – MI Emirates

• Muhammad Waseem- Waseem got his campaign off to a brilliant start as he scored 51 in 26 balls. The destructive batter has played most of his cricket here and is well aware of the conditions which make him the trump card for MI.
• Trent Boult- While other bowlers struggled in the game, Boult bowled a spell of 2/24, showing why he is rated so highly in world cricket. Boult will be a threat for oppositions.

Top Picks – Gulf Giants

• James Vince- James Vince was a star batter for Giants in previous season as he scored 439 runs in 11 games and topped the batting charts for his team. Vince is a brutal batter and while he is there at the crease, Giants are always in the game.
• Mujeeb U Rahman- Mujeeb will be the ace bowler for Giants ILT20 2024 season. The conditions will be helpful for spinners and Mujeeb, with all his experience and variations, will be very handy.

MIE vs GUL Probable Winners:

MI Emirates will begin the match as favourites. MI was defeated in the previous game, but when we look at the quality of the MI team, they appear far superior. Both teams’ batting looks solid, but MI has more depth, with Dwayne Bravo and Akeal Hossain batting at positions 7 and 8, respectively. They also appear to be much better bowlers than the Gulf Giants. We expect MI Emirates to win. Considering the team combination, MI Emirates is expected to win this match.
