Team Journeys

MI Emirates

The MI Emirates have been the dominant force of this edition. They won six of their ten games in the league stage and finished at the top of the table. But the Emirates have lost the last couple of their league games and will look to return to winning ways as soon as possible. However, courtesy of a top-of-the-table finish, the Emirates will get a second shot at qualifying for the summit clash even if they lose this match. 

Gulf Giants

The Gulf Giants have been upto the task in this season. Much like the Emirates, they also managed to win six games. But the Giants got the second spot in the points table due to a worse net run rate. The defending champions will look to level up their game in the business end and keep themselves alive in the race to the top. 

The winner of Qualifier 1 will directly qualify for the final, while the loser will play the Dubai Capitals in the Qualifier 2 and get a second chance to be in the summit clash.

• ILT20 2024 Stats: 275 Runs in 8 Innings
• Kusal Perera has given some solid starts to the Emirates in the tournament. He can be a very rewarding pick given his current form and his general style of batting. 

Trent Boult (MI Emirates)

• ILT20 2024 Stats: 14 Wickets in 10 Innings
• Trent Bould has been one of the primary stays of the Emirates bowling line-up along side Fazalhaq Farooqi. In the Afghan's absence, Boult will be a very important cog for the Emirates.

James Vince (Gulf Giants)

• ILT20 2024 Stats: 298 Runs in 10 Innings
• It has been rocky ride for Vince in the season. But he has played some impactful knocks and will be looking to do the same in this all important game. 

Chris Jordan (Gulf Giants)

• ILT20 2024 Stats: 11 Wickets in 9 Innings
• The English pacer has been brilliant for the Giants in the death overs. The fact that he bowls towards the end of an innings makes him a great choice as there are more chances of him picking up wickets in the game and thus rewarding you with vital fantasy points.
