DC vs ADKR Live Score: There comes another enthralling clash of the ILT20 2024 as Abu Dhabi Knight Riders will lock horns with Dubai Capitals in a fixture. So far only Desert Vipers were able to register a win in the tournament. While ahead of Wednesday’s fixture, Dubai Capitals were placed second with Abu Dhabi Knight Riders on the same Points Tally but three positions down due to a low net run rate. However, at this stage of the tournament, the net-run rate does not matter and what is important is getting points on the board. With two top teams in a face-off, we think an enthralling encounter is already on the cards for the fans.
