MI Emirates

MI Emirates had a solid campaign in the 2025 ILT20 season, achieving five wins in nine matches and finishing second on the points table. They started strong with victories over Dubai Capitals and Abu Dhabi Knight Riders. However, they encountered setbacks against the Vipers and Giants but bounced back with dominant performances, including a significant 154-run victory over the Vipers.

With a well-balanced squad characterised by explosive batting and disciplined bowling, MI Emirates aims to carry the momentum from their recent win over the Giants into the knockout stage as they pursue the championship title.

Sharjah Warriorz

The Sharjah Warriorz have had a bit of a rollercoaster ride in the 2025 ILT20 season, wrapping up the league in third place with four wins and five losses. They faced a rough patch with three straight defeats, but bounced back nicely with two wins in a row against Dubai Capitals and Abu Dhabi Knight Riders, proving they’ve got the grit to come through tough times. 

While their batting lineup has shown some real promise, the bowlers have faced their share of challenges during key moments. After taking a nine-wicket loss to MI Emirates earlier in the season, the Warriorz are definitely looking to redeem themselves and bring their A-game to the next match.
