ILT20 2024: Mighty MI Emirates & Dubai Capitals Faceoff for ILT20 Title
ILT20 2024: Nicholas Pooran’s return has strengthened MI, but they must be cautious against a Capitals lineup that comes into the championship off four straight victories.
Match Overview
Last year, the owners of IPL teams saw an opening and grew their network. Mumbai Indians participated in the MLC, WPL, SA20, and ILT20 competitions. The Delhi Capitals, not to be outdone, also took a plane to South Africa and the United Arab Emirates. In addition to expanding their presence in India through the WPL.
The UAE affiliates of the two teams, MI Emirates and Dubai Capitals, will square off in the second ILT20 2024 tournament final on Saturday.
MI Emirates and Dubai Capitals have been strengthen by return of Nicholas Pooran and Rovman Powell, respectively. In addition to the contemporary players who are crisscrossing the world like the snake in that game on Nokia phones. The teams also have to deal with the departures of Tim David, David Warner, Kusal Perera, and Fazalhaq Farooqi due to their conflict with international cricket.
Similar to Qualifier ILT20 2024 : 1, MI Emirates will field both Kieron Pollard, who joined the team after his SA20 side MI Cape Town was eliminated from the playoffs. Nicholas Pooran, who has returned from duty in the West Indies. Waqar Salamkheil, a left-arm wristspinner, legspinner Vijayakanth, and left-arm orthodox spinner Akeal Hosein make up MI Emirates’ diverse spin-bowling attack.
However, they should be cautious of a Capitals lineup that comes into the championship off four straight victories. At one point, all but eliminated from the race for a spot in the final four, the Capitals fought back, scoring 172 against Desert Vipers and holding off 147 against MI Emirates, no less. They proceeded to qualify for the final by winning both the Qualifier 2 and the Eliminator.
Watching to see who wins the ILT20 2024 trophy may be interesting. The MI trophy cabinet already teeming with five IPL titles, as well as the first-ever WPL and MLC trophies, will tantalise the Capitals, who have yet to win a tournament in any of their ventures.

MIE vs DC Final match Players to watch out.
Nicholas Pooran is still a threat even though his performances in the Twenty20 Internationals against Australia. He scored only one, eighteen, and eighteen for the West Indies. With a strike rate of 164 and an average of 42. He leads all batters who have scored at least 250 runs in the ILT20 2024.
And although Pooran has excellent form, Sam Billings, his opponent, has experience winning the big games. He would not stop at adding the ILT20 2024 trophy to his collection of titles. Which already includes the T20 blast, PSL, and the Hundred. Billings was the captain of the Kent and Oval Invincibles when they won the championship, just like with the Capitals this time. However, however… His average return in those games is seven, so his total return is just twenty-one. Billings needs to improve his personal record in addition to pursuing another victory.
