GSL 2025 Match 8 Preview
Rangpur Riders remain unbeaten, sitting second with 4 points and an NRR of +0.225, after narrow wins over Guyana Amazon Warriors and Hobart Hurricanes. Dubai Capitals, by contrast, are under pressure—with just one win (vs Central Districts) and two losses (to Hobart and Guyana), they’re fourth with 2 points and a -0.971 NRR. A win here is crucial for Capitals to revive their campaign; Riders aim to maintain momentum and pile pressure on table-toppers Guyana.
DC vs RAN Pitch & Weather Report
Providence Stadium offers a slow, low, spinner-friendly wicket, with spin dominating as matches progress; chasing can be tough once pitch deteriorates—toss-winners often choose to field first. Recent T20 matches here average first-innings scores around 147.
Weather: post-morning thunderstorms on July 16, skies should clear by the 10 AM local start, though overcast conditions may linger, offering early assistance to seamers. Full game expected.
