With the 79-run loss at the 2024 U19 World Cup final, India have now incurred a hat-trick of losses against Australia in ICC tournament summit clashes.
The second season of ILT20 will be played from January 19 to February 18 this year. It will feature six teams: the Abu Dhabi Knight Riders, Desert Vipers, Gulf Giants, Dubai Capitals, MI Emirates and Sharjah Warriors. This one-month-long contest consisting of six teams, is an Emirates Cricket Board event, and has a List A status granted by the International Cricket Council (ICC). On Thursday, team captains and vice captains who assembled at the Dubai International Stadium for a photo shoot with the trophy, and a press conference that followed, were upbeat about their respective team's performances.
