Dubai Capitals (DC) lock horns with Abu Dhabi Knight Riders (ADKR) in match No. 29 of the ongoing DP World ILT20 2025 at the Dubai International Stadium in Dubai on Sunday, February 2.

The Capitals find themselves at No. 5 on the points table, with four wins and as many defeats from eight matches. They have the worst net run rate (NRR) in the competition of -0.629. They won three matches on the trot before losing to the Sharjah Warriorz in their most recent fixture.

Meanwhile, Abu Dhabi Knight Riders are languishing at the bottom of the points table. They have won three and lost six out of the nine matches they have played so far. A win on Sunday might not be enough for them to progress beyond the round-robin phase of the tournament. However, the Sunil Narine-led side will want to finish on a high. Dubai Capitals beat the Knights last month in Abu Dhabi when they chased down a 204-run target with eight wickets and a ball to spare.

Pitch Report

Chasing has been more rewarding at this venue, especially in the ongoing edition of the tournament. The new ball tends to swing around in the first couple of overs and the batting sides need to be wary. Aiming for too big a target might not be ideal at this venue. It will be important to assess the conditions as early as possible.
