DV vs DC, ILT20 2025 Qualifier 1 Preview

Dubai Capitals enter Qualifier 1 with strong momentum, having dominated Desert Vipers in their last encounter. Led by their in-form batting duo of Shai Hope and Gulbadin Naib, the Capitals have shown remarkable consistency in chasing targets. Their bowling attack, spearheaded by Qais Ahmad and Obed McCoy, has been effective in dismantling opposition line-ups. With a balanced squad and confidence on their side, the Capitals will aim to secure a direct spot in the final with another commanding performance.

Despite finishing atop the table, the Desert Vipers will need to regroup after their disappointing defeat against the Capitals. Their batting unit, reliant on the likes of Alex Hales and Dan Lawrence, must step up to counter Dubai’s disciplined bowling attack. Wanindu Hasaranga remains a key figure with both bat and ball, while their pacers must find breakthroughs early. The Vipers will look to bounce back and assert their dominance in this high-stakes clash, aiming to book their place in the ILT20 2025 final.
