Topmost Picks for VIP vs GUL Dream11 Prediction:

Top Picks – Desert Vipers

• Alex Hales –  Alex Hales did not get going in the first game but he is one of the most destructive batters going around in World Cricket. Hales, when on song, he can take the game away from the team within a blink of an eye.
• Wanindu Hasaranga – Hasaranga will be the biggest match winner for Vipers. He is one of the best spinners going around and is a very handy batter as well. He did not have a great first game but can be backed to bounce back strong.

Top Picks – Gulf Giants

• James Vince- James Vince was a star batter for Giants in previous season as he scored 439 runs in 11 games and topped the batting charts for his team. Vince is a brutal batter and while he is there at the crease, Giants are always in the game.
• Mujeeb U Rahman- Mujeeb will be the ace bowler for Giants ILT20 2024 season. The conditions will be helpful for spinners and Mujeeb, with all his experience and variations, will be very handy.

VIP vs GUL Probable Winners:

Desert Vipers will begin the match as favourites. MI was defeated in the previous game, but when we look at the quality of the MI team, they appear far superior. Both teams’ batting looks solid, but MI has more depth, with Dwayne Bravo and Akeal Hossain batting at positions 7 and 8, respectively. They also appear to be much better bowlers than the Gulf Giants. We expect Desert Vipers to win. Considering the team combination, Desert Vipers is expected to win this match.
