The third match of the International League 2025 (ILT20) features Gulf Giants (GG) alongside Sharjah Warriorz (SWR) at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium from 7:30 PM IST onwards on Sunday, January 12.

Inaugural champions Gulf Giants, led by inspiring James Vince since the first season, will again be at the helm of things when they take the field this time around. On the other end of the spectrum, Sharjah Warriorz have not done anything significant so far in both the seasons they have featured in. To turn the tables, they have now appointed New Zealand great Tim Southee as their skipper.

Dubai International Cricket Stadium – Pitch Report For Match 3 Of ILT20 2025

Slow and flat wicket at the Dubai International Stadium will aid spinners mainly, with pacers having to put in the hard yards. Toss won't be a major factor here as the teams batting first have won 45 matches compared to 47 that were won by the chasing teams. The wicket is expected to stay true to its nature, with runs scoring not being so difficult at this venue. The average first innings score here is 166 in 13 matches.

3. Shimron Hetmyer

Why Shimron Hetmyer Will Be A Good Choice As The Captain Or Vice-captain?

Powerful Hitter: Over 4,000 runs scored at a strike rate of 135 speaks for the man from the Caribbean who has smashed a total of 251 sixes with 23 fifties to his name. The left-hander has been prolific for his IPL side, Rajasthan Royals, as well. 

Death Over Specialist: In the death overs, Hetmyer has smashed over 1,100 runs with as many as 89 sixes while batting a staggering strike rate of 196 and taking his sides to victory more often than not. He mostly bats at number 5 position and is known as the death-over specialist.

2. Karim Janat

Why Karim Janat Will Be A Good Choice As The Captain Or Vice-captain?

All-Round Option: 2,438 runs and 117 wickets from just 156 matches by no means is an easy feat, especially for a pace-bowling all-rounder who can be handy with the bat in the lower order. His abilities make him an essential player from Afghanistan and Sharjah Warriorz as he puts in the effort to deliver the best for his side.

T20 Experience: Having played plenty of T20 cricket, Janat is a globetrotter who has featured in a variety of leagues and gained valuable experience in both departments. The all-rounder has done well and is expected to up the ante when he takes the field.

1. James Vince

Why James Vince Will Be A Good Choice As The Captain Or Vice-captain?

Dependable Batter: Englishmen James Vince has led the side since the first season and hasn't disappointed both with his captaincy and batting. Overall, with over 400 matches played in the whole of T20s, Vince has amassed more than 11,000 runs scoring around the world as he loves to bat deep into his innings.

ILT20 Record Holder: With 795 runs in 23 games, Vince holds the record for being the highest run-scorer in the tournament's history. His average of 37.85 with the bat while having a strike rate of 128 in the ILT20 makes him an intriguing prospect.
