ILT20 2023 Qualifier 2: The second qualifier of the International League T20 (ILT20) 2023 will see the Gulf Giants square off against the MI Emirates. The Dubai International Cricket Stadium in Dubai will be hosting this clash. The winner of this clash will qualify for the final to take on the Desert Vipers.
Gulf Giants faced the Desert Vipers in the first qualifier and suffered a loss. They missed out the chance to qualify directly to the final after they lost the game. Chris Jordan picked up three wickets as they restricted the Vipers to 178/7. The batters stepped up but lack of big partnerships resulted in them getting knocked over on 159 to lose the game by 19 runs. They will have to fire in unison to bounce back in the competition.
MI Emirates, on the other hand, beat the Dubai Capitals in the Eliminator to stay alive in the ILT20 2023. It was a comprehensive performance from them. Bowling first, they bowled brilliantly and restricted the Capitals to 151. Andre Fletcher (68*) and Nicholas Pooran (66*) contributed as they chased down the total in the 17th over to win the game by eight wickets. MI Emirates have the winning momentum behind them and will look to carry it forward while facing the Giants in the second qualifier.
