MI Emirates is the favourite to win this match.
The Dubai Capitals have not been able to consistently perform well in this competition for whatever reason, and it is likely that they will not advance to the playoffs. The bowling lineup for MI Emirates, who have won five games, features a great deal of variation and all of the players are in good shape going into this match. Overall, we anticipate a competitive game, but we are supporting MI Emirates to prevail.
