What is the pitch report for DUB vs GUL, ILT20 2023, Match 5?
The surface is prepared in such a way as to boost the batters where there will be less help for the bowlers. The outfield is too quick and defending scores is not at all an easy job. Anything over 170 is a competitive score here.

What are the Top Picks, players for Dream11, My11circle and MPL for DUB vs GUL, ILT20 2023, Match 5?
Top Pick – Batter
Robin Uthappa’s decision of leaving Indian cricket from all forms is working well. He got a good kick-off to this ILT20 where he scored 43 runs against Abu Dhabi Knight Riders.
Top Pick – All-Rounder
Sikandar Raza lived up to the expectations with a good all-round performance against Knight Riders. He scored 26 runs at a strike rate of 152.94 and picked up a wicket at an economy of 4.25.
Top Pick – Bowler
Chris Jordan executes Yorkers well and has taken absolute screamers in the outfield. He scalped 3 wickets against Knight Riders.
Top Pick – Wicketkeeper
Bhanuka Rajapaksa has made a name for himself as a T20 specialist batter over the last 12 months. He got out way too early against Knight Riders, scoring just 9 runs.
X-Factor:
Rovman Powell put up resounding performances with both bat and ball against Knight Riders, scoring 48 runs and picking up 2 wickets. He totally deserved the Player of the Match award.

Pre-Match Analysis:
Dubai Capitals were clinical in the opening game as they thrashed Knight Riders by 73 runs to register their 1st win of the tournament. Robin Uthappa, Joe Root, Rovman Powell, and Sikandar Raza produced a scintillating batting display to take the side close to 190 run-mark, and later the bowlers did the rest of the job to restrict the opposition for 114 runs. They didn’t put a foot wrong and need similar performances in this match as well.
Sanchit Sharma’s incredible bowling and skipper James Vince’s powerful batting performances helped Gulf Giants to win the game against Knight Riders by 6 wickets. Speedster Chris Jordan too shined with the ball, picking up 3 wickets. They have got more English players in their line-up which is interesting. There will be more challenges will be waiting as they face tough sides going forward. Namibia skipper Merwe Gerhard Erasmus got out for just one run and eyeing a better comeback in this match.
