After 33 games, several roster changes, continuous incoming and outgoing of players for several reasons and quite close contests, only two teams are left in the second edition of the International League T20. MI Emirates, the table toppers absolutely bulldozed their way through to the final except for a blip in the business end of the league stage. Dubai Capitals, on the other hand, have found the form late and how. The Capitals have gone on to win four games in a row and have the momentum by their side.
In the previous two meetings, the Capitals have beaten the Emirates side on both occasions rather comfortably and will be confident to achieve the three-peat against the Men in Blue. The reinforcements in the form of Leus do Ploy, Tom Abell and Olly Stone have worked wonders for the Capitals while Sam Billings has led the troops very effectively. On the other hand, with Nicholas Pooran, Tim David and Akeal Hosein coming back, the MI Emirates looked like a proper unit. The way the tournament has played out, another one-sided class could be in the offing but the strength of both the sides promises it to be a humdinger.
