Dubai Capitals
After a decent performance in the opening game, the Dubai Capitals have struggled to find their groove this season so far. The Capitals’ batting has managed to put up decent performances, but their bowlers have let the team down. Robin Uthappa and Joe Root have been the top performers with the bat. While Mujeeb Ur Rahman has been the only bright spot with the ball.
