The ILT20 2025 final is poised to be an electrifying showdown between the Dubai Capitals and the Desert Vipers at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium on February 9, 2025. The Capitals have dominated their head-to-head encounters this season, winning all three matches against the Vipers, including a nail-biting Qualifier 1.
Shai Hope has been the backbone of the Capitals’ batting with 484 runs, while Gulbadin Naib has shone with both bat and ball, contributing 376 runs and 11 wickets. On the other side, the Vipers, despite topping the league stage, had to fight back from their Qualifier 1 defeat to secure their spot in the final with a strong performance in Qualifier 2. They’ll rely heavily on Alex Hales, who has scored 400 runs this season, and the versatile Sam Curran along with the experienced Mohammad Amir leading the bowling attack.
This battle will not only test the physical skills of the players but also their mental fortitude, given the stakes and the history of their encounters. Fans can expect a high-scoring, nail-biting contest where strategy, form, and perhaps a bit of luck will decide the champion of ILT20 2025.
