DV vs GG Dream11 Prediction [Source: @TheDesertVipers,@GulfGiants/x.com]
It’s time for another cracking clash in the ILT20 2025 as Desert Vipers face Gulf Giants in Match 24 on Wednesday, January 29, at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium. Both teams are coming into this game with contrasting results, making it an intriguing battle.
DV vs GG, ILT20 2025 Preview
Desert Vipers have been the most dominant side in the tournament so far, sitting pretty at the top of the table with six wins in eight games. However, their last outing was nothing short of a nightmare. They were hammered by 154 runs against MI Emirates, conceding 228/2 before getting skittled for 74.
That kind of loss can shake a team’s confidence, but the Vipers have been rock-solid throughout the tournament. They have already secured a playoff spot, but they won’t want to carry any negativity into the knockout stage. Expect a strong response from their batting and bowling unit as they look to brush aside that horror show.
On the other hand, Gulf Giants have had an up-and-down season, winning three out of seven matches. Their recent win against Sharjah Warriorz by six wickets was a much-needed boost. Chasing 172, they timed their innings perfectly and got the job done with ease.
With momentum on their side, the Giants will want to keep climbing the table and push for a playoff spot. They have been inconsistent, but a win here could shift their campaign in the right direction.

Weather | Clear |
Pitch Report | Balanced Surface |
Weather - It's going to be a perfect cricketing evening in Dubai for the Desert Vipers vs Gulf Giants clash. The weather will be clear and cool with temperatures around 20°. No rain in sight, so fans can expect an uninterrupted match. The humidity is at 59%, which shouldn’t be much of an issue, but the light wind (11 km/h, gusting up to 22 km/h) might assist the pacers a bit. With zero cloud cover, expect good visibility and ideal playing conditions.
Pitch Report - The Dubai track has been quite balanced this season, offering something for both pacers and batters. The new ball swings early which makes the powerplay tricky for batters but once they settle, runs come in bulk. The average first innings score after nine matches in ILT20 2025 stands at 155, suggesting competitive totals rather than run-fests. Spinners may struggle in the second half due to the dew factor which makes defending totals a tough task. Captains winning the toss will likely opt to chase, given the trend of successful run chases at this venue in the ongoing competition.
