ILT20 Match 19 DV vs GG Dream11: Preview

The runner-ups of last year’s ILT20 are currently at the bottom of the table as the Desert Vipers are having a dismal tournament so far. But they do not have the worst net run rate, which means a couple of consecutive wins will see them climb up the league table.

Defending champions Gulf Giants are not having the best tournament this time round either. While they are in playoff spots at the moment, they are fourth in the league of six teams. But due to having the second-best net run rate, they will remain in strong contention for the playoffs as long as they don’t suffer a massive defeat.

ILT20 Match 19 DV vs GG Dream11: Pitch Report

The pitches of the Dubai International Stadium are surprisingly not batter-friendly, with the average T20 score being around 150. The boundaries too aren’t the smallest here, with it being over 70m down the ground.

The pace support provided by this pitch makes it much more difficult to score big runs. But history has shown that if the side batting first gets to a big score, the sides chasing usually capitulate under pressure.

ILT20 Match 19 DES vs GUL Dream11 Prediction: Who Will Win The Match

On the bowling-friendly pitches of the Dubai International Stadium, the side with a better bowling attack just might wreak havoc on their opponents. And with bowlers like Shaheen Afridi and Wanindu Hasaranga in their side, it might be the Desert Vipers, but the quality of the bowling attacks between these two teams is very close.

In fact, the more in-form batting order of the Gulf Giants makes them the favourites to win this match.
