Who will win today’s ILT20 Match between Desert Vipers vs Abu Dhabi Knight Riders?

• Both teams are playing their first match of the season, and will look to get their strategy right.
• Desert Vipers have a strong top order, with Alex Hales and Colin Munro opening the batting. However, the Knight Riders have some quality all rounders in the form of Sunil Narine and Andre Russell.
• We expect this fixture to be a very close encounter. Given the depth in their batting and bowling departments, the Knight Riders might just be the slight favorites here.

What are VIP vs ABD Fantasy Tips?

• Alex Hales is a certain captaincy pick, given his form in the Big Bash League. The English batter has amassed over 11000 runs in T20 cricket, and was the top scorer in the league last season.
• Sunil Narine can contribute with both, bat and ball. The West Indian all rounder has over 500 wickets in the shortest format of the game.
• Wanindu Hasaranga is another player who can amass points in both departments of the game. The Sri Lankan all rounder is a good captaincy pick.
