ILT20 Playoff: On Thursday at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium, the Dubai Capitals will play MI Emirates in the Eliminator of the inaugural ILT20. With nine points from ten games, the Dubai Capitals placed fourth in the ILT20 league.
Captain Yusuf Pathan of the Dubai Capitals spoke about their pivotal match, “In our two league meetings with MI Emirates, we performed admirably. They will be our opponents once more but in a different stage of the competition. We’ll strive to continue playing solid cricket.”
Gulf Giants needed to overcome Sharjah Warriors in the final league stage game on Monday in Sharjah in order for the Dubai Capitals to advance. All of the Dubai Capitals players, according to Pathan, were closely watching the game on Monday. He continued:
“We viewed the game between Gulf Giants and Sharjah Warriors. We were keeping up with every development in the game. Although the Warriors were unhappy with the outcome, it was good for us because it qualified us for the playoffs. We now want to repeat the performance we had in the previous game versus MI Emirates.”
Everyone must have faith in both their own skills and those of the team: Pathan
“We have a side that is well-rounded. In our most recent match against MI Emirates, Dasun Shanaka and Sikandar Raza put together a 122-run combination after being reduced to 44/3. This demonstrates the confidence the players have in one another. Everyone must have faith in their skills and those of the team “he added.
The Skipper responded as follows when questioned about his early ILT20 experiences: “The ILT20 features many talented athletes. Additionally, there are many UAE players competing in the tournament. UAE players have a fantastic opportunity in this competition. Positive signs for UAE cricket may be seen in some of the UAE players’ strong performances in the competition. Off the field, the local players have had the opportunity to pick the brains of international athletes.”
On Thursday, February 9, 2023, the Dubai Capitals and MI Emirates will play in the Eliminator at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium.
