ILT20 2025: Match 26, GG vs MIE Match Prediction, Fantasy Cricket, Report

The 26th match of the current ILT20 2025 season will pit Gulf Giants against MI Emirates. The match will start at 8:00 PM IST on January 31 at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium. The Giants were eliminated from the tournament after finishing second from the bottom of the table, and their last two games did not affect their chances of making the playoffs. Conversely, MI Emirates is second in the standings.

After eight games, MI Emirates has won four of them. To advance to the knockout stages, they need to win their remaining matches against the Giants and Sharjah Warriorz. Their most recent victory over Desert Vipers, which they won by an overwhelming 154 runs, will encourage them. This victory increased their net run rate (NRR).

Dubai International Cricket Stadium Pitch Report:

Throughout the competition, chasing teams have benefited from the favourable surface in Dubai. During the middle overs, spinners and pacers have found support with an average first-innings score of about 140 runs. Under lights, the track usually gets easier to bat on, which makes it difficult for the opposing teams. Nevertheless, the Gulf Giants have had trouble here, dropping four of their last five games. The captain who wins the toss may decide to field first.
