Desert Vipers look the better side going into this one, and our pick is Desert Vipers to win.
Desert Vipers come in with the better form, having won two of their last five games, while Gulf Giants have won one of their last five. They also have the upper hand over Gulf Giants, winning 6 of the 9 meetings between the two sides that produced a result. They know these conditions, with four wins from five games at this venue, compared with two from four for Gulf Giants.
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.
