Format & Schedule
The ILT20 is a domestic T20 competition played in the UAE each year. Each match sees both sides given a maximum of 20 overs to bat and 20 overs in the field. T20 cricket is the shortest of the three major formats and often seen as the most exciting as there is so little time between the first and last ball.
The competition follows a round-robin and playoff format. The top four teams at the end of the group-stage move into the playoff rounds. The top two go into Qualifier 1, with the winner moving straight into the final. The loser takes on the winner of the Eliminator, which pits third against fourth. The winner of Qualifier 2 moves into the final to take on the winner of Qualifier 1.
The following sides features in the ILT20:
- MI Emirates
- Gulf Giants
- Abu Dhabi Knights Riders
- Dubai Capitals
- Desert Vipers
- Sharjah Warriors
