MIE vs DV: Match 22 Preview

MI Emirates

The MI Emirates franchise has registered just three wins in their first seven matches of the ILT20 2025 season. Falling to four defeats, including two in succession in their last two outings, the NRR of the Emirates currently reads a dismal 0.153. Tom Banton and captain Nicholas Pooran remain MI Emirates’ most prolific batters off late, while fast bowler Fazalhaq Farooqi continues to lead the wicket-taking charts of the tournament.

Desert Vipers

The Desert Vipers team is fittingly placed at the top of the ILT20 2025 points table with six wins from seven matches. Moreover, they started off with four wins in a row, and have also won each of their last two games with emphatic margins. Much of Desert Vipers’ success can be attributed to the collective batting brilliance of Alex Hales, Fakhar Zaman and Sam Curran; as well as to the wicket-taking spree of Mohammad Amir and Lockie Ferguson.
