The inaugural season of the International League T20 (ILT20) proved to be a resounding success, prompting its return for a second season (ILT20 2024). Slated to start from January 19 in UAE, the Emirates Cricket Board is gearing up to host this exciting 20-over franchise tournament. The tournament will unfold across three venues: the Sharjah Cricket Stadium in Sharjah, the Dubai International Cricket Stadium in Dubai, and the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi.
Six teams are set to compete in the upcoming ILT20 2024 season - Desert Vipers, Abu Dhabi Knight Riders, Sharjah Warriors, Dubai Capitals, MI Emirates, and Gulf Giants.
Among the notable team leaders, Sunil Narine will take charge of the Knight Riders, while Colin Munro is set to captain the Desert Vipers. Recently retired Australian cricketer David Warner will lead the Dubai Capitals and Englishman James Vince will assume leadership at Gulf Giants. Kieron Pollard will captain MI Emirates, and Sharjah Warriors will be led by Tom Kohler Cadmore.
ILT20 2024 format
The six teams will compete in a double round-robin format between January 19 and February 11, with two points available for a win and one point for a tie. The top four teams will then move into the playoffs with the first and second-placed teams competing for direct entry to the final. The loser of that clash will face the winner of the eliminator (third versus fourth) for a spot in the trophy showdown. In total, 34 matches will be played.
What happened last year?
In the flagship edition held last year, Gulf Giants won the tournament. The Gulf Giants team lifted the maiden title after defeating Desert Vipers in the summit clash by 7 wickets. Chris Jordan who was part of the Gulf Giants squad was named player of the series for his 20-wicket haul.
