The Dubai Capitals are all set to confront MI Emirates in the second clash of the International League T20 (ILT20) 2024 at the distinguished Dubai International Cricket Stadium.
The inaugural game for both squads this season. The Dubai Capitals will be led by former Australian cricket maestro David Warner, who recently retired from One Day Internationals (ODIs) and Tests, is expected to bring his wealth of experience to the team, known for his explosive batting and remarkable leadership skills.
On the contrary, Nicholas Pooran, the dynamic West Indian wicketkeeper-batter, will be leading MI Emirates. Renowned for his aggressive style of play and impressive performances in T20 leagues worldwide, Pooran is all set to steer his squad with vigor and finesse.

Dubai International Cricket Stadium Pitch Report:
The playing surface at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium offers a level playing field for both batsmen and bowlers. Fast bowlers are expected to exploit significant swing, particularly with the new ball in the initial stages of the game. Spinners, on the other hand, may encounter challenges in getting a firm grip owing to the consistent nature of the pitch. However, batters are likely to have the advantage after the initial overs for most of the game on this track. Teams winning the toss should consider fielding first at this venue.
