MIE VS DC MATCH 4

The action continues in the 2025 International League T20 with match number 4, as the defending champions MI Emirates lock horns with their familiar foes and last year's runners-up, Dubai Capitals. These two teams treated us to a nail-biting thriller in the tournament opener just a couple of days ago, where the Capitals snatched a last-ball victory. MI will be gutted after coming so close to chasing down 134, only to falter once Nicholas Pooran was dismissed. Pooran will be pleased with his bowling unit, as all his bowlers executed their plans to perfection, but he will need more from his batters. The likes of Kusal Perera, Tom Banton, and Andre Fletcher must step up and deliver in this crucial clash. On the other hand, the Dubai Capitals had their share of struggles with the bat in the opening game, with Brandon McMullen being the standout performer. The team will rely heavily on Shai Hope, Rovman Powell, and Sikandar Raza to step up and deliver a stronger batting display to back their bowlers. The spin bowling was a concern for Dubai, with Raza and Zahir Khan expected to shoulder the responsibility and make a significant impact on the game. Interestingly, in the five league-stage meetings between these two teams in the history of the competition, the Dubai Capitals have emerged victorious on all five occasions. Will MI Emirates finally break the hoodoo or will the Capitals make it six in a row? We shall find out.
