The Dubai Capitals (DC) and the Mumbai Emirates (MIE) will play an entertaining match at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium on Saturday, January 11, to kick off the 2025 season of the International League T20 (ILT20). Sikandar Raza, Dwayne Bravo, Sam Billings, Kieron Pollard, and other T20 cricket stars will play in the contest. Mumbai Emirates, the reigning champions, will try to defeat the Dubai Capitals, who finished fourth in the previous season’s standings, to open the season on a high note.
Dubai International Stadium Pitch Report
The pitch at the Dubai International Stadium is expected to provide more assistance to spinners than fast bowlers. Pacers will need to make use of the new ball to secure early wickets before the batsmen settle in and score big. In previous ILT20 matches played here, the average first-innings total has been 167. Captains winning the toss are likely to opt to field first, as teams chasing the target have had a better track record, winning 17 matches and losing just 12.
