International League T20 2024 (Jan 19-Feb 17)

[NYRB]

MI Emirates post 163/7 off their 20 overs.

Gulf Giants need a good powerplay to chase that Down .

 

[NYRB]

MI Emirates go to the Grand Final and the Gulf Giants have to play again tomorrow.

 

[Aussie_boy]

Looking through the scores and 2 things came across as ridiculous. First is Tim David going from Perth to the UAE in the space of about 20 hours and playing. Second is Daniel Worrall being allowed to come into the comp in a final. Not sure if he doesn't want to play BBL but he'd be a far better import than a lot of the others that come out and that's if he is even deemed to be an import.

 

[Cleavy]

Broadcasters requested late change to play-off schedule, says ILT20

The order of the Eliminator and Qualifier 1 was changed, with the Eliminator brought forward from Wednesday to Tuesday and Qualifier 1 pushed back from Tuesday to Wednesday

I think there should be a policy of having to play a minimum of 1-2 games in the regular season before playing in the Finals.

It kind of defeats the purpose of the comp and the comp loses a bit of credibility when you can import a star player from nowhere.

, Aayan Afzal Khan

Gulf Giants have won the toss and have opted to bat


Its win or go home.

 

[NYRB]

Powell and Jason Holder have come from their game in Perth on Tuesday to be in Sharjah on Thursday.

 

[NYRB]

Usman the local UAE player has smashed 14 off 5 balls and he looks like he could do a good cameo tonight.

 

[NYRB]

A low and slow pitch for the Qualifier tonight in Sharjah.

 

[NYRB]

Gulf Giants struggling 46/4 after 9 overs in Qualifier 2.

Hetmyer been given a dose of spin bowling since he has come out to bat.

 

[NYRB]

Gulf Giants finish on 138 in Qualifier 2 against Dubai.

SA20 Combatants

Du Plooy v Worrall

 

[NYRB]

Aayan Khan goes for 15 in the first over. The UAE player got targeted in that over. Most of the UAE players have sort of been able to hold their own this tournament to be fair.

 

[NYRB]

Dubai v MI Emirates Final

 

[NYRB]

The difference in the game last night was how the Gulf Giants and Dubai went in the powerplay.

 

[NYRB]

Its the Grand Final from Dubai:

Dubai Capitals (Playing XI): Leus du Plooy, Tom Abell, Sam Billings(w/c), Rovman Powell, Sikandar Raza, Scott Kuggeleijn, Jason Holder, Rahul Chopra, Olly Stone, Haider Ali, Zahir Khan

MI Emirates (Playing XI): Muhammad Waseem, Andre Fletcher, Nicholas Pooran(w/c), Dwayne Bravo, Bhanuka Rajapaksa, Kusal Perera, Kieron Pollard, Akeal Hosein, Trent Boult, Muhammad Rohid Khan, Waqar Salamkheil



Dubai Capitals have won the toss and have opted to field

 

[NYRB]

No Tim David for some strange reason tonight. I wonder why that is.

 

[NYRB]

MI Emirates the 1st team to bust the 200+ this season and they do so in the Final.

 

[NYRB]

Dubai riding their luck early in this chase.

 

[NYRB]

MI Emirates defeat Dubai and are the 2024 ILT20 Champions.

 

[NYRB]

Still trying to find a reason why Tim David didnt play last night. If its international duty on Wednesday in NZ, it still strange why he played this week on Tuesday for Australia in Perth, and Wednesday for MI Emirates for Dubai.

So the time to get between the Final on Saturday and to get to NZ on Wednesday would have been ample time. Unless the Australian team have specific requirements in being at training camp before the T20s.

Training camp reason sounds plausible

Noor Ahmad banned from ILT20 for 12 months due to breach of contract

Noor was offered another year's extension by Sharjah Warriors, but refused to sign the retention notice

www.espncricinfo.com

The way i am reading this is that the league is banning players if they refuse to sign a contract extension
