DV vs DC Final: Team Previews And Comparison

Desert Vipers

The Desert Vipers have been one of the most resilient teams of ILT20 2025. After losing Qualifier 1, they bounced back in Qualifier 2 against Sharjah Warriorz and bagged a comfortable victory with 3.2 overs to spare. Their batting department has been on fire with commendable bowling scalps too. 

Alex Hales and David Payne will be key to lead the charge with the bat and the ball respectively with the all-rounder department ready to fire on the field with their dual potential. With everything on stake, the Vipers will aim to continue their dominance to lift the trophy in the final match of the league.

Dubai Capitals

The Dubai capitals have also been one of the dominant forces in the tournament with their performances. Winning the Qualifier 1 against the Vipers, they secured the ticket to the finale and will be high on confidence as they already defeated Vipers in a high-pressure match.

With Gulbadin Naib leading the charge in both bowling and batting departments, Sam Billings and Shai hope will also be key players for the Capitals to claim the ILT20 2025 trophy.

DV vs DC Final Fantasy Tips And Key Players

• Other than Naib, Sam Curran, and Alex Hales can also be good picks who can rack good fantasy points. While Curran can contribute with both bat and ball, Hales will be crucial with the bat.
• Desert Viper's Expected Key Players: Alex Hales, Rahmanullah Gurbaz, Sam Curran, David Payne, Mohammad Amir
