Team Previews

Dubai Preview

Dubai have started the Emirates D20 2025 season in commanding fashion, securing a 59-run victory over Fujairah in their opening fixture. Their batting lineup looked powerful, led by Israr Ahmed’s fluent 78 and strong support from Ronak Panoly and Nilansh Keswani. The trio ensured Dubai posted a formidable total of 192/5 in 20 overs, showing their ability to build partnerships and accelerate effectively in the final overs.

Bowling remains a major strength for Dubai, with Said Nazeer Afridi leading the attack with 3 wickets for just 10 runs. Ayman Ahamed also made crucial contributions by taking two key wickets in the middle overs. Their disciplined bowling and fielding helped restrict Fujairah to 133, completing a dominant team performance.

Dubai’s balance between top-order firepower and bowling depth makes them one of the strongest contenders in the tournament. If their key players maintain current form, Dubai could very well top the points table by the end of the round.

Key Players: Israr Ahmed, Ronak Panoly, Said Nazeer Afridi, Nilansh Keswani, Ayman Ahamed

Predicted XI:
Israr Ahmed, Ronak Panoly, Nilansh Keswani, Raizal Nadir, Ammar Badami, Aftab Alam Shah (wk), Said Nazeer Afridi, Adithya Shetty, Raheel Ali, Nirvan Shetty, Zainullah Rehmani

Emirates Blues Preview

Emirates Blues, too, began their season on a winning note, defeating Abu Dhabi by eight wickets. Their batting looked confident and well-structured, with Mohammad Kamran Atta playing a match-winning knock of 86* off 57 balls. His partnership with Ahmed Tariq at the top of the order was vital in chasing down the target of 142 comfortably.

On the bowling front, Ajay Kumar stood out with his accuracy and variations, picking up 3 wickets in his spell. The Blues’ bowling attack combined effectively to restrict Abu Dhabi, with contributions from Mohammad Qasim and Fahad Nawaz, ensuring regular breakthroughs.

Emirates Blues’ strength lies in their top-order batting stability and all-round bowling options. However, they will need to be sharper in the death overs when facing a dominant Dubai batting unit that thrives on power-hitting and high scoring.

Key Players: Mohammad Kamran Atta, Ahmed Tariq, Ajay Kumar, Mohammad Qasim, Fahad Nawaz

Predicted XI:
Ahmed Tariq, Mohammad Kamran Atta (wk), Fahad Nawaz, Mohammad Asif, Nasir Faraz, Ajay Kumar, Shakeeb Ahmed, Uzair Khan, Rashid Habib, Ghulam Murtaza, Mohammad Qasim

Fantasy Team Prediction

Captain Picks: Israr Ahmed, Mohammad Kamran Atta
Vice-Captain Picks: Nilansh Keswani, Said Nazeer Afridi
Players to Avoid: Raizal Nadir (inconsistent batting), Ghulam Murtaza (ineffective with ball in recent games)

Fantasy Insight:
Dubai’s top-order combination makes them ideal for fantasy selections. Israr Ahmed and Kamran Atta are must-haves as they are in exceptional form. Expect Afridi and Ajay Kumar to be among the top wicket-takers.

Favourite Team in Today’s Match

Dubai are the clear favorites to win this match. Their batting lineup has shown superior power and consistency, and their bowlers have demonstrated excellent control with both new and old balls. Playing in Sharjah, a venue where Dubai’s hitters can exploit short boundaries, further enhances their chances. Emirates Blues rely heavily on Kamran Atta’s batting form — a factor that makes them slightly dependent on individual brilliance rather than overall team depth. Dubai’s all-round balance gives them an edge both in conditions and match momentum.

Weather Report

The weather in Sharjah will be clear and pleasant, with temperatures around 32°C. There is no chance of rain, ensuring a full 20-over game. Dew might play a small role in the second innings.
