GG vs ADKR: Match 12 preview

Gulf Giants

The Gulf Giants tasted victory for the first time in the ILT20 2025 season against Dubai Capitals. A sensational bowling effort from Mark Adair and Aayan Khan restricted the Capitals to a total of 165 runs at the loss of seven wickets. Gulf Giants, meanwhile, had a shaky start to the chase as they lost wickets at regular intervals. 

However, Gerhard Erasmus and Shimron Hetmyer stitched an 80-run partnership to lift the team to a six-wicket victory. Erasmus hammered a half century from 34 balls whereas Hetmyer slammed a blazing 41 runs off 20 balls. With that victory, Gulf Giants have stationed themselves in fourth position on the points table. Despite initial setbacks, the Giants have picked themselves up at the right time and must withhold the winning momentum.

Abu Dhabi Knight Riders

Abu Dhabi Knight Riders, on the other hand, are placed fifth on the points table with 2 points in 3 games. They endured a tough defeat against Desert Vipers in the previous fixture. The Vipers put 193 runs on the board at the loss of five wickets in the first inning. Alex Hales (58) and Dan Lawrence (49) made crucial contributions whereas Azam Khan struck the much-needed finishing touch of 21 off just 9 deliveries. 

In the second inning, the Knight Riders saw a middle-order collapse. Despite a 66-run partnership between Kyle Mayers and Joe Clarke, the rest of the batting lineup failed to support as Abu Dhabi Knight Riders got bowled out of 140 runs, thus facing a brutal 53-run partnership. The Knight Riders must pull up their socks to ensure a deep playoff run.

GG vs ADKR: Weather and pitch report

Weather report

The forecast for Dubai promises clear skies throughout the match, ensuring uninterrupted action under ideal conditions for cricket. The weather will be a little cold with the temperature expected to drop to 17°C at night. Moreover, since it's the evening game, chances of dew settling in the second inning are highly likely. 

Pitch report

At the Dubai International Cricket Stadium, early overs tend to favour batters with the ball coming onto the bat smoothly, making stroke play easier. However, as the innings progresses, spinners do start to get more grip and turn, particularly under lights. Pace bowlers who hit the deck hard can use the additional bounce on offer, but generally speaking, it's a surface that encourages aggressive batting. Teams winning the toss are likely to bowl first, as chasing has been advantageous at this venue.

For the Gulf Giants, Gerhard Erasmus (50 off 34) and Shimron Hetmyer (41 off 20) led the batting. Aayan Khan (2/12) and Mark Adair (2/39) delivered with the ball. Hence, these players will be key for the Giants in the upcoming game as well.
