ILT20 - Season Recap of All The Teams
Author: Shimit Mahur
Updated At:
ILT20 Cricket league has become paramount to T20 cricket in the United Arab Emirates. UAE is an upcoming squad in international cricket and keeping that in mind, the Emirates Cricket Board started their own cricket league in 2023. The first two seasons have been successful and the third season is expected to be much better than the previous one.
For the past 2 years, some of the best cricket talent across the globe have been part of the league. That has given the local talent a chance to learn and grow and make it big in the league itself. The international cricketers participating in ILT20 this year will be in the spotlight in the league and the betting apps in cricket will have the best odds for those players.
In the previous edition, MI Emirates came out on top with their performance. They were at the top of the point table at the league stage and reached the final game. In a dominating performance, MI Emirates scored a win in the finals against Dubai Capitals. We have studied the odds for MI Emirates on online cricket betting in India and they have chances to repeat their performance this year as well.
In this article, we have done a season recap of every franchise that is part of ILT20 2025.
