GG vs DC: Match 10 Preview

Gulf Giants

The Gulf Giants have been on a losing streak with two consecutive defeats against the Desert Vipers and Sharjah Warriors. While the skipper James Vince has shown form in the last outing with his massive 76-run stand, the rest of the team needs to pick things up. 

For the upcoming clash against the Dubai Capitals, the Giants will be confident as they have previously dominated them in most of the matches they have played. Led by Vince, Adam Lyth and Rehan Ahmed at the top, Giants will aim to post big at Sharjah. Meanwhile, Mark Adair and Tymal Mills will look to capitalize on the Capitals batters.

Dubai Capitals

Winning one out of the two matches they played, the Sikandar Raza-led Dubai Capitals will look to get an edge over low-spirited Gulf Giants. With Shai Hope, Brandon McMullen and Sikandar Raza stabilizing the top, Rovman Powell and Dasun Shanaka will aim to anchor the middle order. The bowling unit will be spearheaded by Gulbadin Naib alongside Olly Stone, Farhan Khan, and Zahir Khan as they look to keep the Giants under wraps.

GG vs DC: Weather And Pitch Report

Weather

According to Accuweather, the weather for the cricket match on January 18 looks favourable, with temperatures around 19°C. Skies will remain mostly cloudy, with a 1% chance of rain ensuring no interruptions. Winds from the west at 13 km/h, gusting up to 35 km/h, may slightly impact play, while moderate humidity at 57% and clear visibility provide comfortable conditions for players.

Pitch Report 

The Sharjah Cricket Stadium has historically been a haven for batters, with numerous high-scoring encounters. The presence of short boundaries further enhances the scoring opportunities. While the pitch is expected to be true and offer good bounce for the batters, spinners may come into play as the match progresses. 

Historically, teams batting first have enjoyed success at this ground. However, with the pitch expected to be fresh and conducive to batting, chasing could be a viable option, especially given the presence of short boundaries.

GG vs DC: Fantasy Cricket Tips

Mark Adair is an impressive all-rounder who has done well with both the bat and the ball previously. Hence, Adair will be a top choice as a fantasy player for the Sharjah pitch as there will be wind and seamers like him can exploit the conditions to trouble the batters. From the Dubai Capitals, Gulbadin Naib will be a crucial pick for fantasy teams, given his blazing form in recent matches.

From the overall all-rounder and batter segment, Shai Hope, Brandon McMullen, James Vince, and Olly Stone can be the top picks as captains and vice-captains for fantasy teams. They might perform big as individual picks too in the fantasy playing XI.

GG vs DC: Winner Prediction

Looking at previous encounters between the two teams, the Gulf Giants have dominated Dubai Capitals the maximum number of times and with a strong arsenal of all-rounders on the Giants' side, they are the favourites to win the match against Dubai Capitals.
