The fixture is a highly anticipated rematch of last season’s thrilling final. On that occasion, the Capitals held their nerve to claim victory with just four deliveries remaining, lifting the trophy in front of a raucous 25,000-strong crowd.
Season 4 promises to build on that excitement, with the curtain-raiser pitting two of the league’s heavyweight franchises against each other in what is expected to be another highly competitive campaign.
The season opener will be played at Dubai International Stadium — the venue for Season 3’s grand finish. The six-team tournament again features 34 matches. Dubai International Stadium will host 15 matches, Zayed Cricket Stadium in Abu Dhabi will stage 11, and the Sharjah Cricket Stadium will be the venue for eight matches.
