Pre-Match Analysis:

Dubai Capitals backed by Indian franchise Delhi Capitals will start their new journey in the 2nd most lucrative league from Friday. Powerful striker Rovman Powell will be leading the side which includes a couple of Indian players Robin Uthappa and Yusuf Pathan. It always going to be a selection headache for the management given many stars in the line-up. Mujeeb ur Rahman ended his stint with the BBL to take part in this league. West Indian all-rounder Fabian Allen will fill the space of a genuine all-rounder. Left-arm pacers Isuru Udana and Fred Klaassen are the frontline bowlers. Chirag Suri and Akif Raja will find their name in the starting eleven as UAE players.

Abu Dhabi Knight Riders co-owned by Knight Riders have similar faces in the squad with the likes of Sunil Narine and Andre Russell. Sri Lankan-bound players Charith Asalanka, Dhananjaya de Silva, and Lahiru Kumara will be available after finishing their National duties. It’s an interesting call to hand captaincy for Sunil Narine who doesn’t have much experience of leading a franchise. It’s all about picking the right eleven with the available resources they have.
