Expect high scores if the dew falls, but clever bowling variations may keep things competitive, favoring batsmen with true bounce and shorter boundaries. However, an ocean breeze can help swing bowlers immediately.
The climate in Dubai will be clear and breezy, with little chance of rain.

Gulf Giants are among the most successful teams in tournament history, having won one championship. The Desert Vipers, on the contrary, have failed to make the playoffs even once in both of the previous seasons. The Gulf Giants defeated the Desert Vipers by large margins in both previous seasons. We believe Gulf Giants will have an advantage over the Sharjah Warriors in this game as well. Considering the team combination, Gulf Giants is expected to win this match.
