Today’s Match Prediction: The team that bats first will win the match. After winning their previous match, Desert Vipers ensured a top-two finish.
On Saturday, February 4, the Desert Vipers (VIP) will face the Gulf Giants (GUL) in a top-of-the-table clash of the ongoing ILT20 2023 at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium. So far in the competition, the Desert Vipers have only lost two games, one of which came against the Gulf Giants in the reverse fixture.
Meanwhile, the Gulf Giants have only lost one game this season and have been somewhat unlucky as two of their games have been rained out. A win for the Giants in the upcoming game will see them overtake their opponents at the top of the points table due to a higher net run rate.
