The second game of ILT20 season 2 will showcase Dubai Capitals against MI Emirates. On January 20, the game will take place at the Dubai International Stadium and will kick off at 8:00 PM IST. David Warner will serve as the leader of Dubai Capital in ILT20 2024. For this season, Joe Root and Mark Wood are unavailable. Sikandar Raza and Sadeera Samrawickrama are also not guaranteed to be available because they recently participated in the T20I series between Zimbabwe and Sri Lanka. Still, there’s a greater likelihood of their playing than not being able to.
Although Kieron Pollard was supposed to captain MI Emirates in the ILT20, MI was compelled to delegate leadership of MI Cape Town to someone else due to Rashid Khan’s injury. Pooran will captain the side in his absence. MI kept the majority of the players from the previous season, as they typically do.
Dubai Capitals vs MI Emirates Team Preview & Squads
Dubai Capitals
David Warner will be a dominant force in T20 leagues across the globe after retiring from Test and ODI cricket. Warner, one of the most seasoned cricket players in the world, will lead the Capitals this season. He led DC to success in the IPL the previous season, and he will now want to do the same with the Dubai Capitals.
Gurbaz is among the most potent hitters in this particular game genre. He just scored 50 runs in the penultimate Twenty20 International against India, and he’ll be eager to build on that success and have a fantastic ILT20 season. Jason Holder adds a great deal of value to the group. Holder may be the primary pacer for the Capitals and is a highly useful batter down the order. Holder is expected to deliver excellent results this season.
Dubai Capitals Squads
Dubai Capitals
David Warner (C), Rahmanullah Gurbaz (Wk), Rovman Powell, Jason Holder, Dushmantha Chameera, Sam Billings/Sadeera Samarawickrama, Kane Richardson, Dasun Shanaka, Roelof Van Der Merwe, Sikandar Raza, Akif Raja
MI Emirates
Muhammad Waseem, who has played in these conditions before, will be a crucial component. Waseem played several excellent knocks in the series against AFG. In the final season of the competition, he scored 367 runs as well. One of the most potent batters in the world of cricket is Nicholas Pooran. He is practically uncontrollable when he is singing. Pooran scored 355 runs last year, having a fantastic run. He’ll be hoping for a comparable result in the current campaign.
The team’s bowling unit will be led by Trent Boult. Boult has improved every team he plays for with the new ball, and he expects MI to have excellent results in the competition.
MI Emirates Squads
MI Emirates
Nicholas Pooran (C/Wk), Andre Fletcher, Ambati Rayudu, Dwayne Bravo, Akeal Hosein, Odean Smith, Trent Boult, Corey Anderson, Zahoor Khan, Muhammed Waseem, Vijayakanth Viyaskanth.
The captains will be eager to bowl first because dew may play a part and because it will make chasing much simpler. There will be bright skies and a temperature range of 24 to 17 degrees. One advantage of holding a tournament in the United Arab Emirates is that there is very little danger of rain interfering with the event.
There won’t be much assistance available, and the pitch will be favorable for batting. Because dew may make things difficult for them later in the game, spinners will be the most valuable asset, particularly in the first innings.
