Dubai Capitals vs Gulf Giants Prediction & Tips 2025

Gulbadin Naib had a solid campaign last season as he scored 381 runs with an average of 42.33. Even though he struggled in the opening game, we expect him to bounce back in the upcoming game and score well.

Gerhard Erasmus did not have a great start to the campaign but that doesn’t change the fact he was solid last season as he scored 213 runs with an average of 30.42 and we believe he will score well in the upcoming game.
