Team Journeys

MI Emirates

The MI Emirates played great cricket in the league stages of the tournament. They managed to win six of their ten games and finished at the top of the table. However, walking into the playoffs, they were under-confident, with a couple of defeats accumulating in their records. But the Emirates peaked at the right team and steamrolled the defending champions, Gulf Giants, in the Qualifier 1 and made it to the Grand Finale. 

Dubai Capitals

The Dubai Capitals did not have a bright start to their campaign in the tournament. But as the league stage concluded, the Capitals started to level up their game. They picked up a couple of very important wins and then made it to the playoffs as the fourth team. 

Under the leadership of Sam Billings, the Capitals have been on a roll. They overhauled the Abu Dhabi Knight Riders in the Eliminator. Then, they defeated the Gulf Giants by a significant margin to find their way into the summit clash of the tournament. The Capitals will now be looking to ride the momentum and lift their maiden ILT20 trophy.

EMI vs DUB, Final: Top Player Picks

Nicholas Pooran (EMI)

• ILT20 2024 Stats: 297 Runs in 9 Innings
• The West Indian keeper has been the mainstay of the Emirates batting in the tournament. In Pooran's absence, the Emirates suffered a couple of defeats, but his return restored sanity to the batting line-up and they won the Qualifier 1. 

Waqar Salamkheil (EMI)

• ILT20 2024 Stats: 16 Wickets in 10 Innings
• The left-arm wrist-spinner has been a real asset for the team. Waqar has been the reason the Emirates have got the advantage in the middle-overs in most of the games. His wicket-taking form at present will make Salamkheil a great pick for the fantasy contests of the match. 

Sikandar Raza (DUB)

• ILT20 Stats: 303 Runs in 10 Innings and 12 Wickets in 12 Innings
• Sikandar Raza has been at his best with both the bat and the ball. He has played some impactful knocks with the bat and bowled some brilliant spells with the ball. In his current form, Raza is a must-pick as his presence will ensure you points in either of the innings. 

Scott Kuggeleijn (DUB)

• ILT20 2024 Stats: 13 Wickets in 7 Innings
• The Kiwi pacer has been one of the prime-reasons behind the turn around of the Capitals in the tournament. Kuggeleijn has been very efficient in the death-overs and his wicket-taking abilities makes him a must-pick for the game.
