It is close to a coin flip, but our pick is MI Emirates, who come out marginally ahead at 52%.
MI Emirates come in with the better form, having won four of their last five games, while Desert Vipers have won two of their last five. That said, Desert Vipers lead the head-to-head record 6-4, and they also have the better record at this ground (four wins from five), which is why this is far from a sure thing.
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.
