ILT20 2025: Predicting Desert Vipers’ Playing XI for their clash against MI Emirates

Get the predicted Desert Vipers’ Playing XI ahead of their thrilling clash against MI Emirates. MI Emirates and Desert Vipers will be clashing against each other in the 22nd match of the ongoing International League T20 on January 27 at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi. Both Desert Vipers and MI Emirates have played seven matches. The Vipers have won six of them and have become the first team to qualify for the playoffs with 12 points in seven matches.

They will look to continue their winning rhythm in the upcoming match against MI Emirates. It is unlikely that they would make any change in their playing as going with the winning combination for the upcoming matches would be beneficial for them.

Here is Desert Vipers’ predicted playing XI for their clash against MI Emirates:

1. Top Order  

Desert Vipers’ top-order is one of the reasons why they are standing at the top of the points table. Openers Fakhar Zaman aand Alex Hales have shown dominance in most of the match by giving a cracking start to their team. Coming at no. 3, Daniel Lawrence has taken the responsibility very well. All three of them would like to continue their form in the match against MI Emirates.

2. Middle Order  

Vipers’ middle-order has not tested very well due to the top-order’s dominance. However, the strength Azam Khan and Sherfane Rutherford have, they can change the course of the match single-handedly. Dhruv Parashar hasn’t got enough chances to show his calibre with the bat but he has contributed well with the ball while bowling some overs in the middle. But he might get a chance to bat up the order as the Vipers’ have already qualified for the playoffs.

3. All-rounders  

Vipers’ most experienced duo, especially in the shortest format of the game, Sam Curran and Wanindu Hasaranga have been contributing with both bat and ball. Skipper Curran and star leg-spinner Wanindu Hasaranga will be the biggest threats for MI Emirates in the upcoming match.

4. Bowlers 

The lethal pace-trio of the Desert Vipers have wreaked havoc in the ongoing season of ILT20. Amir has been doing what he is known for, providing early breakthroughs. Khuzaima Tanveer and David Payne have also supported well enough in the bowling department.
