Abu Dhabi Knight Riders (ADKR) will meet Desert Vipers (DV) in the second match of the ILT20 2025 season at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi. The much-awaited contest will commence from 3:30 PM IST onwards on Sunday, January 12.

Ahead of this game, here is a look at the Dream11 predictions, the fantasy cricket tips, the pitch report and the best-predicted XIs for the fantasy contests of the match.

ADKR vs DV, ILT20 2025 Preview

Abu Dhabi Knight Riders will aim to start the season strong as they gear up for their upcoming match in the ILT20 2025. Last season, their campaign ended on a disappointing note, with three consecutive defeats, including a heavy loss to Dubai Capitals in the Eliminator. ADKR’s batting woes were evident in their recent outings, with scores of 103, 163, and 94 in critical matches. As the new season unfolds, the team will look to rectify past errors and regain their winning touch.

The Desert Vipers enter ILT20 2025 looking to address their fluctuating form from the previous season. Despite ending their campaign with a dominant six-wicket win over Sharjah Warriors, the Vipers struggled with consistency, recording just 4 victories in their ten matches. Close losses to Dubai Capitals and MI Emirates highlighted their inability to capitalize on key moments. However, their batting lineup, led by strong performances in successful chases, remains a strength. Led by Lockie Ferguson, the Vipers will aim to build on their flashes of brilliance and kick off the new season with a greater focus on winning.

ADKR vs DV, ILT20 2025 Weather And Pitch Report

Weather: According to AccuWeather, the weather for the upcoming match is expected to be sunny and pleasant, with temperatures around 25°C. The humidity level will hover at 46%, accompanied by a light breeze at 11 km/h, with gusts reaching up to 26 km/h.

Pitch Report: The Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi is expected to offer a balanced contest between bat and ball. Fast bowlers might enjoy some early movement with the new ball, particularly in the second half of the innings. While the pitch offers even pace and bounce, aiding run-scoring, the dryness of the surface could favour spinners as the game progresses. Run-scoring can often become challenging in the latter stages of an innings at this venue. Consequently, the team winning the toss is likely to elect to bat first.
