Dubai Royals (DR) will take on Gurugram Thunders (GT) in Match No. 4 of the World Legends Pro T20 2026 on Wednesday, January 28, at the 1919 Sportz Cricket Stadium in Goa.

Dubai Royals suffered a defeat in their opening match against Delhi Warriors despite a brilliant half-century from Peter Trego. While the batting showed promise, their bowling unit failed to make an impact, allowing the opposition to chase comfortably. The Dubai Royals will be keen to address their bowling concerns and bounce back strongly as they look to open their points tally in the league.

Gurugram Thunders also endured a disappointing start to their campaign, losing their first match against Pune Panthers. Although the Gurugram Thunders produced a collective batting effort, they were unable to defend a modest total, with their bowlers struggling to contain the opposition. Heading into this encounter, Gurugram Thunders will aim to put their earlier shortcomings behind them and come out with renewed intent.

The 1919 Sportz Cricket Stadium has favoured teams batting second, with batters enjoying significant success in the first couple of matches. Bowlers have struggled to find rhythm, particularly in the middle overs, where wickets have been hard to come by. Both spinners and pacers will need to be extremely precise with their lengths, as any lapse could make it difficult to either defend a total or contain the batters.

The upcoming match between the Dubai Royals and Gurugram Thunders in the World Legends Pro T20 League 2026, scheduled for January 28, will be the first time these two teams face off against each other.

Right-handed batter Peter Trego could be the key player in this clash. He scored an impressive 60 off 35 balls in the opening game, single-handedly holding the innings together. His contribution will be crucial in the upcoming match, and he has the ability to produce a match-defining innings.

Former England pacer Stuart Broad could be the key fast bowler in the contest. He bowled two impactful overs in the previous game and picked up the crucial wicket of Shane Watson, giving his team an early breakthrough. Broad’s ability to swing the ball and maintain disciplined lines will be vital in troubling the opposition batters and breaking key partnerships.
