ILT20 2023 | Dubai Capitals vs Sharjah Warriors: Preview, Prediction, Fantasy Tips

Joe Root in action in ILT20 2023 (ILT20)

The Dubai Capitals team is set to host a winless Sharjah Warriors outfit in match number 10 of the ongoing ILT20 2023 season.

The Capitals, under Rovman Powell, squandered their sublime start to the tournament by losing their subsequent two fixtures. Moreover, they sustained a big blow to their net run-rate by losing to the Gulf Giants by 101 runs in their most recent outing. Against the same opponents, Powell and co. lost by six wickets with an over to spare earlier this week as well.

Sharjah Warriors, on the other hand, are yet to win a game this season. They have suffered big defeats in each of their three matches, with two of those losses coming against MI Emirates side. As of now, they are placed at number five on the ILT20 2023 points table.
