DC vs GG, ILT20 2025 Preview

The Dubai Capitals team recently snapped its three-match losing streak by defeating Desert Vipers. With two wins and three defeats from five league matches so far, the Capitals has accumulated four points and is currently holding an NRR of -0.404. For the Capitals, blistering top-order batter Shai Hope has emerged as the most successful batter of the season, considering the West Indies cricketer has already hauled over 200 runs in just five innings. With the ball, fast bowlers Dushmantha Chameera and Gulbadin Naib have both snapped seven wickets each at impressive bowling averages.

The Gulf Giants team, led by James Vince, is languishing at the bottom of the ILT20 2025 points table. Having secured just a solitary win, over Dubai Capitals, and sustaining three defeats in the process, the Giants’ NRR currently reads a dismal -0.526. Batting continues to haunt the Gulf Giants franchise, as only Shimron Hetmyer and captain Vince have barely managed to tally over 100 runs among all their teammates this season. The bowling department, on the other hand, has been ably helmed by Gulf Giants’ Ireland import Mark Adair.

Pitch Report: The playing conditions at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium seems to have something for fast bowlers as well as for batters.

The average first innings score at the venue after the first seven matches of the ILT20 2025 season has turned out to be 156. Spinners might find it a bit difficult to grip the ball during the latter half of the game, largely owing to the dew factor.
