Preview

The ILT20 is all set for its third edition, promising another thrilling season of action-packed cricket in 2025. Abu Dhabi Knight Riders are all set to take on Desert Vipers in the second game of the International League T20, slated to take place on January 12 at Sheikh Zayed Cricket Stadium. The two teams are playing their first game of the tournament and aim to kick off their journey with a thrilling win to bolster their rankings since the start of the showpiece event.

Notably, the Abu Dhabi Knight Riders had a stellar season back in 2024 before the side suffered an 85-run loss against the Dubai Capitals in the playoffs. Sunil Narine and his men finished at the third spot of the points table with five wins and five losses. The side will be looking to maintain their dominating form heading into the new season.

On the other hand, VIP had a horrendous season in 2024. They failed to make it to the playoffs after finishing at the fifth spot of the points table. Colin Munro and his men were just able to win four matches and suffered defeat in the six matches. However, the side will be looking to mark their comeback in the 2025 season.
