Dubai Capitals and Desert Vipers are set to clash in the 17th fixture of ILT20 2024 on Thursday at the Dubai International Stadium.
Dubai Capitals have lost their last two matches after two of their first three, and currently sit fifth in the points table. Their most recent match came against Sharjah Warriors on January 29, where they were bowled out for just 104 before losing by 9 wickets.
Sitting bottom of the table, Desert Vipers also have just 4 points on the board but are coming off the back of a positive result. On Tuesday, they chased down 150 against MI Emirates in dramatic fashion as fast bowler Shaheen Shah Afridi hit the ball into the deep, enabling the batters to run three and secure victory off the last delivery of the match.
Whichever way this match goes, it promises to be an exciting watch.

Dubai International Stadium: Pitch Report
Dubai International Stadium offers help to both batters and bowlers. The bowlers, especially the speedsters often receive help from the surface in the initial overs. The pitch offers swing and bounce with the new ball. However, the batsmen tend to get hold of the match after the first few overs.
Scoring runs becomes easier in the middle overs. The spinners find it difficult to keep hold of the game sometimes, because of the surface of the pitch. The ground favours the chasing team. The captain winning the toss is expected to have a bowl first.
