MI Emirates vs Dubai Capitals Match Analysis

In the ILT20 2024 final, MI Emirates will play Dubai Capitals. On February 17, the game is scheduled to begin at 8:00 PM IST at the Dubai International Stadium in Dubai.

MI Emirates overcame the Gulf Giants in Qualifier 1 by 45 runs to go to the final. MI Emirates bowled the Giants out for 118 after they had reached 163-7 in 20 overs. MI appeared to be a formidable squad during the opening portion of the competition, but their loss of Nicholas Pooran and Fazalhaq Farooqi undermined them. The fact that both players have returned to the squad is good news.

In the meantime, the Qualifier 2 saw Dubai Capitals defeat the Gulf Giants with ease. In the Eliminator, the team defeated the Abu Dhabi Knight Riders. The Capitals are prepared to put up a fierce battle against MI Emirates in the summit match because they have peaked at the ideal time.

MI Emirates vs Dubai Capitals Team Preview & Squads

MI Emirates

Tim David and Nicholas Pooran have returned to support the team after leaving for the T20I series between Australia and the West Indies. MI Emirates has returned to its best and isn’t changing the winning formula. Since Kusal Perera is playing in the T20I series against SL, his availability is unknown.

Waseem had a great tournament debut and went on to play several winning innings before faltering a little. He has, nevertheless, caught up to him and is a strong favorite to win the championship. After rejoining the MI Emirates, Nicholas Pooran scored 36 points against the Gulf Giants. In nine games for the team, he has amassed 297 runs in scoring. Being a strong player, Pooran will carry a lot of MI’s hopes in this crucial final.

The unidentified spinner is like the circumstances. It takes some getting acclimated to his motion and variations because not many batters have faced him previously. In this tournament, he has claimed 16 wickets.

Dubai Capitals

As for whether David Warner will be available for the championship, there is no definite update. The left-hander left to play in the T20I series between WI and AUS. Warner did not play in the Capitals’ most recent game, despite players from the series including Tim David and Nicholas Pooran returning to the field for MI Emirates. Jason Holder and Rovman Powell returned for the side, but Warner did not play in the previous game.

In 12 games, Sam Billings has amassed 280 runs. The hitter, who has made significant contributions to the club, will be the one holding the bat in the championship game. Billings had a vital knock of 46 in 26 balls against the Knight Riders in the Eliminator despite not being able to bat in the Qualifier 2.

Sikandar Raza performed admirably in the competition. He’s been just as useful with the ball as he has been with the bat. With 303 runs in 12 games, he leads the Capitals in run-scoring during the tournament. In addition, he has taken 12 wickets for the group.

Olly Stone performed admirably throughout the competition. In the last few games, he has not lost a single wicket and his economy has also been extremely respectable.  He has taken nine wickets in five games so far.
