We are backing MI Emirates with some confidence. At 63% to win, they are strong favourites, and Dubai Capitals will need their best game to cause an upset.
MI Emirates come in with the better form, having won four of their last five games, while Dubai Capitals have won one of their last five. They know these conditions, with two wins from three games at this venue, compared with one from four for Dubai Capitals.
The toss could matter here. Chasing has been the better option at this ground, so the captain who calls right may well choose to bowl first. We expect a first-innings score of around 145, and anything well above that should put the batting side in control.
