Who Will Win Rangpur Riders vs Dubai Capitals 8th T20 GSL 2025 Prediction – 16th July
Rangpur Riders vs Dubai Capitals prediction is gaining momentum as the two teams face off in a high-stakes clash in the 8th match of the Global Super League 2025. Scheduled for Wednesday, 16th July 2025, at Providence Stadium, Guyana, this match is a virtual semi-final for the Dubai Capitals, who must win to stay alive. Rangpur Riders, on the other hand, are already flying high with two wins in two and are one step away from securing a spot in the final. With their bowling unit firing and key batters delivering under pressure, the Riders will aim to extend their winning streak.
The Dubai Capitals, led by Gulbadin Naib, are under massive pressure after suffering consecutive defeats. Their top order hasn’t fired, and the bowling has failed to contain opposition batters. Conversely, Rangpur Riders, under Nurul Hasan’s leadership, are brimming with confidence. Their one-run win against Hobart Hurricanes showed nerves of steel and excellent death bowling. All eyes will be on how Dubai’s struggling unit copes with Rangpur’s aggressive and in-form side.

Dubai Capitals Preview
Dubai Capitals are low on confidence after two heavy losses. They’ve looked patchy in both batting and bowling departments. Sediqullah Atal remains their most consistent batter, but the middle order is under pressure to perform. Experienced players like Niroshan Dickwella, Shakib Al Hasan, and Gulbadin Naib must step up.
The bowling has been a weak link. Dominic Drakes and Kaleem Sana must provide early breakthroughs, while Shakib and Qais Ahmad must control the middle overs. They need a near-flawless game to defeat a settled Rangpur Riders side.
Key Players: Shakib Al Hasan, Sediqullah Atal, Gulbadin Naib
Rangpur Riders Preview
Rangpur Riders are thriving. Back-to-back wins, including a 1-run thriller against Hobart Hurricanes, have made them the team to beat. Kyle Mayers’ match-winning knock and Khaled Ahmed’s 4-wicket haul have set the tone.
Their top order has looked solid with Ibrahim Zadran and Soumya Sarkar. The middle order with Yasir Ali, Nurul Hasan, and Azmatullah Omarzai adds depth. With spinners like Tabraiz Shamsi and Rakibul Hasan supported by seamers Khaled and Omarzai, Rangpur have all bases covered.
Key Players: Kyle Mayers, Khaled Ahmed, Azmatullah Omarzai
