Abu Dhabi Knight Riders (ADKR) and Dubai Capitals (DCP) are poised to face off in the 13th match of the ongoing International League T20 (ILT20 2025-26) at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi on Saturday, December 13. Notably, this will be the second time these two teams will be up against each other this season, with the last contest being won by the Capitals.
The Jason Holder-led Knight Riders have had an underwhelming season so far after four games. They started the season with a win over Sharjah Warriorz, but ever since then, they have been on a three-match losing streak. They currently find themselves in fifth spot in the points table with two points and a negative NRR of 1.383.
On the other hand, Dasun Shanaka-led Capitals have played three games and have registered one win and two losses. The team will be coming off a win after starting their campaign with back-to-back losses.
