DC vs ADKR Match Prediction & Analysis
MI Emirates currently lead the ILT20 table but there are four teams grabbing at their heals only two points behind them. As yet, Desert Vipers are the only team yet to get off the mark so far in what has been a remarkably well matched ILT20 tournament this season.
Ahead of Wednesday's game, Dubai Capitals were in second place with Abu Dhabi Knight Riders on the same points tally but three positions lower due to a far worse net-run-rate.
However, at this stage of the tournament, net-run-rate does not really matter and what is important is getting points on the board. With another two up for grabs in this game, it looks set to be an excellent contest on Thursday evening.

TEAMS PREVIEW
Dubai Capitals Preview
After posting 170/7 in Match 5 on Monday, Dubai Capitals looked well placed to pick up their second win of the season. However, they hadn't bargained on a Johnson Charles special at the top of the order alongside some lower-order hitting from Basil Hameed and Daniel Sams as Sharjah Warriors got home with 5 wickets and 7 balls to spare.
The Capitals have an excellent batting line-up and it was the turn of Sam Billings (52 runs from 31 balls) and Sikandar Raza (48 runs from 23 balls) who starred in the last game. But with the likes of Rahmanullah Gurbaz, David Warner, Jake Fraser-McGurk and Rovman Powell also in the top six, big totals are more likely than not for this side.
With the ball, Dushmantha Chameera is a man on a mission after taking 4/28 on Monday and he already has five wickets in the tournament.
Dubai Capitals Predicted Playing XI:
Rahmanullah Gurbaz (wk), David Warner (c), Jake Fraser-McGurk, Sam Billings, Sikandar Raza, Rovman Powell, Jason Holder, Rahul Chopra, Roelof van der Merwe, Akif Raja, Dushmantha Chameera

Abu Dhabi Knight Riders Preview
After cruising to victory over Desert Vipers in Match 3, Abu Dhabi Knight Riders were trounced by MI Emirates on Tuesday and there will be a lot of work required from captain Sunil Narine and the team management to rebuild confidence in the squad ahead of this match.
Andre Russell made 48 runs from 25 balls with opener Alishan Sharafu the only other player to make double figures as the Knight Riders were dismissed for only 95. Keeper-batter Andries Gous, who hit 95 not out in the opener against the Vipers, will be desperate to go big again after making just 3 in the collapse against MI.
The bowling attack will claim they had nothing to defend but it was still a poor effort with only one wicket taken. Overall, Abu Dhabi Knight Riders need to put their last match to the back of their minds and start from scratch in this fixture.
Abu Dhabi Knight Riders Predicted Playing XI:
Alishan Sharafu, Andries Gous (wk), Michael Pepper, Sam Hain, Laurie Evans, Imad Wasim, Andre Russell, David Willey, Sunil Narine (c), Josh Little, Matiullah Khan
