Desert Vipers are facing a nightmare this season. They have a major void in their middle order and the bowling unit is dependent on one or two bowlers to scalp wickets.
MI Emirates, on the other hand, are playing like a team. The batters are doing their job well and the bowlers - even in the tough conditions, have kept the match in control. We predict a win for MI Emirates on Tuesday.
