GAT vs APXI Prediction: Who Will Win?
Who do you think will win?

There is very little between these two sides. We give AP XI a narrow edge, at 53% to win.
AP XI come in with the better form, having won three of their last four games, while GAT have won two of their last three. They know these conditions, with three wins from four games at this venue, compared with two from three for GAT. Their results this season back this up: AP XI are 2nd in the table, GAT 4th.
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 165, and anything well above that should put the batting side in control.

Sulabiya Ground usually gives an even contest between bat and ball.
The first-innings average over the last 26 T20 games at this ground is 165, and 131 in the second innings. Anything in the 155-175 range should make a competitive total. There is little to choose between batting first and chasing, 14 wins to 12 across the last 26 decided games.
The last 5 first-innings scores here, newest first: 184/7 (AE-B, won), 136/4 (GUJR, won), 98 (RCK, lost), 118/9 (AT-B, lost), 210/5 (MBT, won).
