ILT20 Final EMI vs DUB Dream11 Prediction: Preview
Here it is, the final of the second-ever International League T20. The 2024 season of the Middle East’s premier franchise cricket league will come to its conclusion as the MI Emirates and the Dubai Capitals compete in the Final for all the riches.
The Emirates were the first team to make it to the playoffs this season. By winning Qualifier 1, they became the first team to enter the final too. They have been the best team in the tournament with the best bowlers and some of its best batters.
On the other hand, the Dubai Capitals had a rather topsy-turvy tournament. At different points in the league stage, they looked sure of a playoff berth and looked like not making it. They just made it into the playoffs in fourth position, and won the Eliminator against the Abu Dhabi Knight Riders, then defeated the Gulf Giants in Qualifier 2 to book their spot in the final.

ILT20 Final MI vs DC Dream11: Pitch Report
The pitches of the Dubai International Stadium are surprisingly not batter-friendly, with the average T20 score being around 150-160. The boundaries too aren’t the smallest here, with it being over 70m down the ground.
The pace support provided by this pitch makes it much more difficult to score big runs. But history has shown that if the side batting first gets to a big score, the sides chasing usually capitulate under pressure.

ILT20 Final EMI vs DUB Dream11 Prediction: Who Will Win The Match
This is going to be a tough one. It is always difficult to predict playoff matches in a tournament like this, as any team can have a good or bad day, and their form throughout the tournament will not matter here. That is doubly so the case in the Final, where it is more about keeping a hold on one’s nerves than how they have played throughout the competition.
The pitches of the Dubai International Stadium do not allow for tosses to dictate the match narrative. The conditions here will see the better team win, and will not provide a significant advantage to the side batting first or second.
While MI Emirates has been the best team in ILT20 2024, they lost their most recent match against the Dubai Capitals, which was also their last league stage match. But in Qualifier 1, they thrashed the Gulf Giants to make it to the final.
On the other hand, the Dubai Capitals are on a four-match winnings streak, the last two of which were playoff matches. They are on a tole and they too thrashed the Gulf Giants in their last match. While they have gathered steam at the best point possible, the Capitals have shown their tendency to be in uneven form across the tournament. With that being said –
ILT20 Final EMI vs DUB Dream11 Prediction: MI Emirates will defeat Dubai Capitals in the Final of ILT20 2024.
