Preview
VIP vs EMI will lock horns each other in the 15th match of the International League T20 2024 at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium in Dubai on January 30. Desert Vipers have won just one game and are languishing at the bottom of the table while MI Emirates are at the opposite end of the table with four wins to their name.
Desert Vipers played against Sharjah Warriors in their last encounter, where Desert Vipers won the toss and elected to field. Warriors did not start well to lose two of their wickets early but Martin Guptill and Tom Kadmore balanced the team well with their performances. They took the team to a total of 174 runs. Vipers were no better with the start either as they lost the first wicket on zero. Alex Hales did play a good knock but he lacked support from the other end as his partners kept on losing their wickets. They lost the game by just seven runs.
MI Emirates had played against Abu Dhabi Knight Riders in their last encounter where MI Emirates won the toss and elected to field. Abu Dhabi started off well and had a series of good partnerships which helped them build a strong total. A team effort helped them post a total of 188 runs on the board. MI Emirates, in return, were absolutely sensational right from the start and did not give away any chances. A century-worth opening stand made the chase easy for them as they went on ahead to win the game by eight wickets.
