MI Emirates, on the other hand, have played five games so far. They won their first three games but lost the next two, with their recent loss coming against the Desert Vipers. On the back of fifties from Nicholas Pooran (57) and Kieron Pollard (67*), the Emirates posted 169 on the board. The bowlers failed to pick up wickets as they were unsuccessful in defending the total. They will look to get back to winning ways in their next ILT20 clash.
