ILT20 Match 26 GUL vs EMI Dream11 Prediction: Gulf Giants will take on defending champions the MI Emirates in Match 15 of the International League T20 2024
ILT20 Match 26 GG vs MI Dream11: Preview
Gulf Giants are the definition of a middling team in the 2024 ILT20. Not only are they third in a six-team tournament, they have also won three and lost three matches so far. But they do have the worst net run rate in the competition, which means the teams below them in the table can always jump over them. So the only thing the Knight Riders can do to hold on to their playoff spot is to win a lot of matches.
On the other hand, MI Emirates are having the time of their lives this season. Having won six out of eight of their matches and having the best net run rate by a country mile, the Emirates have all but qualified for the playoffs. Not only that, they will most likely finish in the top two in the league table, thus getting an extra opportunity to make it to the final.

ILT20 Match 26 GG vs MI 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 Match 26 GUL vs EMI Dream11 Prediction: Who Will Win The Match
MI Emirates looks unstoppable at this point in the tournament. Not only do they have two of the highest run-scorers (Nicholas Pooran and Muhammad Waseem) and two of the highest wicket-takers (Fazalhaq Farooqi and Trent Boult) of the tournament, they are in magnificent form, winning four out of five of their last matches. They are the clear favorites in this match.
While the Gulf Giants have not been bad by any stretch of the imagination in this tournament, they certainly have been inconsistent. To win against the mighty MI Emirates, both – bowling and batting will have to fire, which is unlikely from what we have seen of the Giants this season.
GG vs MI Dream11 Match Prediction: MI Emirates will defeat Gulf Giants in the 24th Match of ILT20 2024.
