Hello everyone! Welcome to Sportskeeda's ongoing live coverage of the International League T20, 2025! The playoffs are here! Desert Vipers will take on Dubai Capitals in Qualifier 1 at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium. Bringing all the action to you from this game is the commentary pair of Bidipto and Keshav.
The top two teams of the group stage are up against each other tonight to see which of them makes it to the final as the first side. Desert Vipers clinched first spot as they finished the league phase with 14 points from 10 games and Dubai Capitals ended up as the second-placed on the ladder with 12 points. Interestingly enough, the Capitals' net run rate was negative!
With the bat, the highest run scorer of the tournament thus far is the highest run scorer for Dubai Capitals. Wicketkeeper-batter and West Indies ODI skipper Shai Hope has amassed 467 runs at a strike rate of 126.90, including 3 fifties and a hundred! As for the Vipers, it is Englishman Alex Hales with 286 runs, including a couple of half-centuries, striking at 125.43.
Bowling-wise, the most wicket-taker for the Capitals till now is Sri Lankan speedster Dushmantha Chameera. He has picked up 12 wickets at an economy rate of 8.51. Desert Vipers' top wicket-taker's spot is currently shared. Both Wanindu Hasaranga and Mohammad Amir have 11 wickets to their names, at economies of only 5.33 and 7.76, respectively. All three bowlers here have played 8 matches each.
When these two sides met earlier on this season, Dubai Capitals had the better of the Vipers twice. First, here in Dubai itself when Gulbadin Naib's all-round Player-of-the-Match performance of 1/10 in 2 overs and 78* off 51 balls handed them victory 6 wickets with 14 balls to spare. Second, just recently in Sharjah, where local leg-spinner Qais Ahmad's 4/25 in 4 overs helped them triumph by 9 wickets with 17 deliveries left. Qais of course was the Player of the Match.
So, who wins this match-up then? Whoever loses, has another chance of making the final by competing again in Qualifier 2. But neither team will want to leave it late. Both are expected to give it their all and book a place in the final. Therefore, it's excitement guaranteed, friends! Toss and team news are coming up.
