Desert Vipers (DV) is set to face Dubai Capitals (DC) in Match 15 of ILT20 2025-26 at Dubai International Cricket Stadium on Sunday, Dec 14. It is worth pointing out that both of these teams have already clashed with each other in the initial match of this season, with the Vipers emerging as winners by four wickets.

The Desert Vipers have had an impressive start to the tournament. Headlined by Lockie Ferguson, they are on a five-match winning streak and are currently leading the points table. Their balanced act with both bat and ball is what makes them one of the best sides of the tournament so far.

Dubai Capitals, meanwhile, have had a mixed campaign. They have managed to win only one out of their three matches so far. However, the Capitals would be looking to gain some confidence from their recent victory over the Abu Dhabi Knight Riders, which could help them go up against the table-toppers.
