Dubai Capitals, the DP World International League T20 (ILT20) franchise, will kick off their first season tonight against Abu Dhabi Knight Riders.
The side will be led by Rovman Powell. The team has a good mix of right and left-handed batters, as well as a number of exceptionally experienced players and a plethora of middle-order talent.
