Pitch & Weather Conditions
The Dubai International Cricket Stadium offers a batting-friendly surface with some assistance for spinners later in the innings. Dew might make it easier for teams chasing, especially in night games. The average first-innings score at this venue is 158, but a score above 180 could be competitive.
Toss Prediction: Teams will prefer to bowl first due to the chasing advantage.
Winning Prediction
Desert Vipers, with their strong lineup and balanced performances, enter as favorites despite their recent loss. Sharjah Warriors have the potential to surprise, but the Vipers’ consistency makes them likely winners.
