Team Previews
Ajman (AJM)
Ajman have shown flashes of brilliance — for example, captain/batsman Junaid Shamsu has delivered strong top-order starts and wicket-keeper/batsman Shahrukh Amin has anchored innings when under pressure. However, AJM’s bowling still lacks consistency and they’ve faltered in key chases. If AJM are to win this match, their all-rounders like Saghir Khan or Ankur Sangwan must step up and deliver match-winning contributions.
Dubai (DUB)
Dubai’s campaign has had its ups and downs — they have shown aggressive batting performances (e.g., Ronak Panoly has the capacity to post big scores) but their bowling unit has occasionally let them down. Key players include Adithya Shetty (all-rounder) and Vaibhav Govekar (batsman) who can change games quickly. If Dubai can tighten their bowling in the death overs, they hold a slight edge in this fixture.

Top Fantasy Picks
- Adithya Shetty (DUB) – All-rounder who bats aggressively and bowls; good fantasy value.
- Ronak Panoly (DUB) – Explosive top-order batsman; can score big in T20 format.
- Junaid Shamsu (AJM) – AJM’s batting linchpin and possible captaincy candidate.
- Saghir Khan (AJM) – A smart differential pick: contributes with both bat and ball.
Captain & Vice-Captain Suggestions
- Captain: Adithya Shetty (DUB) – High upside with both batting and bowling.
- Vice-Captain: Junaid Shamsu (AJM) – Leader of his side, reliable fantasy pick.
Match Prediction
Dubai (DUB) are marginal favourites in this matchup due to their stronger batting depth and recent momentum. Ajman (AJM) have the talent to cause an upset, but unless their bowlers step up significantly, DUB are likely to secure a win. My prediction: DUB to win by 5-7 wickets if chasing, or by around 20-25 runs if batting first.
Fantasy & Strategy Tips
- Balanced Team Composition: In a high-scoring league like Emirates D20, include 4-5 batsmen, 2-3 all-rounders, and 3-4 bowlers.
- Pick Death-Over Specialists: Bowlers who can take wickets in final overs will earn extra fantasy points.
- Monitor Toss: Sharjah’s pitch generally favours batting first early on, but chasing teams have done well too. Adjust picks accordingly.
- Include Value Picks: From AJM, players like Saghir Khan or Hamdan Tahir offer budget value and decent upside.
- Avoid Over-crowding from One Side: While favouring DUB is justified, picking 9-11 from one team can be risky if there are surprises.
Conclusion
Match 28 of Emirates D20 2025 between AJM vs DUB is poised to deliver entertainment and fantasy fireworks. With Dubai in slightly better rhythm and Ajman needing to prove themselves, this is a match where strategic fantasy cricket plays can yield strong returns. Prioritise all-rounders and death-over specialists while keeping an eye on toss and final XIs for the best chance at Dream11 success.
