TEAMS PREVIEW
Desert Vipers Preview
Desert Vipers have separated themselves from the rest this season, closing the league phase in first place after claiming eight wins from ten outings and booking a Qualifier 1 spot. Their path into the final included a dominant 45-run win against MI Emirates in Qualifier 1, a result that adds confidence as the same matchup returns for the title clash.
Max Holden has been central to their batting returns, compiling 318 runs across 10 innings at an average of 40 alongside a strike rate of 126.19. Three half-centuries already sit next to his name, and another score beyond 30 feels well within reach in this setting.
Support has flowed from multiple directions. Sam Curran, with 323 runs from 11 matches, and Andries Gous, with 228 from six, have both delivered meaningful contributions, with Gous producing a sensational unbeaten 120 off 58 during Qualifier 1. Additional depth arrives through Fakhar Zaman, whose clean striking at the top gives the lineup early momentum and the freedom to accelerate quickly if required.
The bowling unit has matched that consistency. Khuzaima Tanveer and David Payne have carried the workload effectively, combining for 29 wickets while keeping scoring under control. Naseem Shah has impressed as well, collecting nine wickets in seven appearances at an economy of 7.34.
Curran has added value here too, taking seven wickets at 8.53. This attack has stayed disciplined throughout and should back itself to deliver another composed effort against MI Emirates.
DV Over/Under Betting Tips
Andries Gous Total Runs Over 19.5 1.85
Andries Gous smashed a magnificent hundred in Qualifier 1 against the MI Emirates, scoring 120 runs off 58 balls with 7 fours and 9 sixes. After struggling throughout the tournament, this knock will give him huge confidence heading into today's final against MI. We back him to play another match-winning innings and score over 19 runs.
Desert Vipers Predicted Playing XI:
Fakhar Zaman, Max Holden, Jason Roy, Andries Gous(w), Hasan Nawaz, Sam Curran(c), Dan Lawrence, Sanjay Pahal, David Payne, Usman Tariq, Khuzaima Tanveer Super Subs: Naseem Shah

MI Emirates Preview
MI Emirates booked a spot in the ILT20 final by beating Abu Dhabi Knight Riders in the second Qualifier through a seven-wicket win. They rate as the second strongest side this season and carry real danger heading into the finals.
Muhammad Waseem has thrived as an opener, piling up 344 runs across 11 innings at a strike rate of 128.35. His average sits at 32 this season, and he can be counted on to deliver once more at the top stage.
Tom Banton, alongside Kieron Pollard, have filled their roles well, delivering repeated match-winning contributions during this tournament. Banton stays the central figure in the batting order, having gathered 320 runs this season at an average of 32 and a strike rate of 130 overall so far.
Allah Ghazanfar has been their leading wicket-taker, taking 15 scalps from 11 appearances, including a 3-24 in the second qualifier. He provides control through spin, keeping pressure steady against rival batters across long spells this season so far overall now.
Further backing comes from Fazalhaq Farooqi and Zahoor Khan, whose combined tally of 21 dismissals gives the side depth and balance across matches.

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS
Weather Conditions
Fast bowlers should get something out of the surface at Dubai International Cricket Stadium during the first few overs when the ball is new and firm. Once that period is done, runs come more freely as the pitch flattens out and plays true. Spinners tend to get into the game around the midpoint, when the ball has lost its shine, and the surface has been worn down. Dew usually arrives as the evening wears on, making chasing the preferred option in fixtures of this nature a challenge.
Dubai's weather will be as expected for the season, staying warm all day with no chance of rain causing any disruption.

Winning Prediction
Desert Vipers meet MI Emirates in the International League T20 final, with both sides having a genuine shot at the title. The Vipers have been consistent all season long and already got past MI Emirates in the first qualifier. MI Emirates are no easy opponents, though, as they've proven they can compete with the best, particularly after thrashing the Vipers during their pool stage clash. This should be a close battle, but the Vipers have greater depth across their squad, which gives them the edge heading in.
Desert Vipers are our picks for the winners of the final.
