Gulf Giants (GUL) will lock horns with MI Emirates (EMI) in the 26th match of the International League T20 2024 at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium in Dubai on February 8. Gulf Giants have won four of their eight games and occupy the third place, while MI Emirates have been dominating the proceedings, winning six of their eight games and topping the charts.

MI Emirates had played against Desert Vipers in their last encounter, where Desert Vipers won the toss and elected to field. They had a decent start but quickly picked up pace and were cruising up ahead to a good total. Kusal Perera, Ambati Rayudu and Nicholas Pooran made significant contributions to the team as they amassed 188 runs. Vipers, in return, had a horrible start, and they just kept on getting worse from there. It was the brilliant eighth wicket partnership for 73, which saved the face for them and took them a good total as they lost the game by 30 runs.

Gulf Giants had played against Dubai Capitals in their last encounter, where Dubai Capitals won the toss and elected to field. Giants did not start well on a slow track as they lost several wickets early and were tottering at 17 for four. It was a significant partnership for the fifth wicket, which did the job for them as they crawled to a decent total of 126 runs. Capitals made a decent start but they missed a trick by losing wickets at regular intervals. Dasun Shanaka did play a handy knock but did not receive much support from the other end, as they lost the game by just 19 runs.

Pitch Report

The track at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium is more favourable to batters. Slower deliveries and off-cutters could be great weapons for the pacers but the game would be largely dominated by the batters. Teams prefer to chase the total after winning the toss, with the average first innings score being 166.

Player Picks

7.5
C

Fazalhaq Farooqi EMI | BOWL

Farooqi has been sensational right from the start of the tournament as he has picked up over 17 wickets in just eight games. He is supposed to be the leader of your fantasy team.

9
C

Nicholas Pooran EMI | WK

Pooran has been leading his side from the front with exemplary batting performances. He has smashed 261 runs at a strike rate of 170.59 in eight games apart from contributing with his wicketkeeping skills.

9
C

Trent Boult EMI | BOWL

Boult has been providing the initial breakthroughs which have been crucial for his team's success. He has picked up 13 wickets and can be another great choice for captaincy roles.

7

Waseem Muhammad EMI | BAT

Waseem has looked in great touch this season with the bat. Playing all eight games so far, he is the second-highest run-getter just behind his captain, Nicholas Pooran.

8

Akeal Hosein EMI | BOWL

Hosein has picked up nine wickets with an economy of just 6.26 bowling very tight line and length. He got to bat in three innings as well where he has scored 31 runs.

8.5

Chris Lynn GUL | BAT

Lynn has been batting well and is the highest run scorer for his team. He has scored 244 runs in six games and is a must-have pick for your fantasy side.

7

Kusal Perera EMI | WK

Another batter from the Emirates side who is doing incredibly well is Kusal Perera. He has raked up over 230 runs at a strike rate of 165.47 in just six matches.

9

Waqar Salamkheil EMI | BOWL

Waqar has been a threat with the ball this season to every opposition. He has played a total of seven games where he has maintained an economy of 7.28 and picked up 10 wickets.

8

Jamie Overton GUL | ALL

Overton has been doing a great job with the bat as well as the ball. He scored 86 runs and scalped six wickets in six matches and can be a handy pick for your team.

Avoid Having These Players In Your Fantasy Sports Team

6.5

Will Smeed

EMI | BAT

Smeed did look comfortable in his stay on the crease so far. He should not be picked up in your fantasy team.

8

Blessing Muzarabani

GUL | BOWL

Muzarbani can be omitted from your fantasy side keeping in mind his inconsistency in the game recently.
