Match Prediction

DV have good form and momentum and has got some of the best victories so far. They demonstrated their batting firepower in the previous game and their bowlers allowed the opposition to gain very less momentum in the match. The Gulf franchise also has drafted huge totals on the board and will try to maintain their winning streak. Nevertheless, DV is expected to win this match.
