Sunday Starter: MI Emirates Edge Warriorz, Knight Riders Stun Capitals
The week really kicked off on 7 December, and it did not ease you in gently.
In the afternoon game, MI Emirates vs Sharjah Warriorz turned into a proper chase thriller. Emirates put up a strong total and then held their nerve at the death, closing out a tight win by just a few runs as Sharjah’s lower order ran out of room to swing freely. Power-hitting in the back end and disciplined death bowling made the difference, and Romario Shepherd’s finishing surge once again showed why he’s treated like a built-in momentum swing.

The night game, Dubai Capitals vs Abu Dhabi Knight Riders, gave us a very different mood. This was less “nail-biter” and more “batting clinic”. Capitals mounted a big score, but Knight Riders’ chase was clinical: a solid platform, big-striking in the middle overs, and a composed finish to seal a high-scoring win with wickets to spare. Andre Russell’s late hitting and the way the top order paced the chase made this one a must-watch replay for batting geeks.
Relive that chase here: DC vs ADKR.
Super Over Chaos: Desert Vipers vs Gulf Giants
If there’s one match that defines ILT20 Season 4 Week 2 highlights, it’s Desert Vipers vs Gulf Giants on 8 December.
Both sides piled on runs to finish level after 40 overs – 189 each – and pushed the game into a Super Over. Desert Vipers’ bowlers came in with clear plans, nailed their yorkers when it counted, and their batters chased a tricky little target with calm, clean strokes. Sam Curran’s all-round presence again felt like the spine of the side: he hits, he bowls the tough overs, he sets the tone.
For pure entertainment, this is the game you queue up when friends say, “Show me why this league is fun”: DV vs GG.
One-Run Thriller: MI Emirates vs Desert Vipers
A day later, MI Emirates vs Desert Vipers on 9 December brought a different kind of tension – the slow burn. Vipers set up a target that looked just about chaseable, then kept dragging the game back with wickets at the right time.
The defining moment? A missed chance to stump Sam Curran that came back to haunt Emirates, followed by tight bowling in the last over to leave them one run short. It’s the kind of finish that makes you mutter at the screen even if you don’t normally talk to inanimate objects.
You can feel that pressure all over again here: MIE vs DV.
Midweek Swing: Giants, Emirates And Knight Riders Hit Back
From midweek onwards, the table kept wobbling.
On 10 December, Gulf Giants vs Sharjah Warriorz saw the Giants steady their campaign. Chasing a near-par score, they worked the middle overs with care and attacked in the last stretch to win by six wickets, with help from the top order. Aayan Afzal Khan ripped with a three-wicket burst in his first spell and squeezed Sharjah’s scoring to set the chase.

On 11 December, MI Emirates squared off with Abu Dhabi Knight Riders, and bowlers owned the day. Fazalhaq Farooqi blasted through ADKR with four wickets, moved the new ball, and turned scoring into a grind. Then Jonny Bairstow’s 49* cooled the chase, turned it into a walk, not some wild scramble
ou can watch that sharp work here: MIE vs ADKR.
On Friday, 12 December, Gulf Giants played Desert Vipers, and the Vipers looked like the form team. Khuzaima Tanveer’s 4 for 10 crushed the Giants’ batting, and Sam Curran led a brisk chase to lock an eight-wicket win with overs to spare. Desert Vipers climbed the table top.
That statement win is worth a full rewatch: GG vs DV.
Saturday’s ADKR vs Dubai Capitals clash on 13 December had a different flavour: runs, runs, and more runs. Capitals stacked up 196/5, powered by Shayan Jahangir’s stroke-filled innings, and then their bowlers just about held off a furious counter from Andre Russell and the Knight Riders lineup to win by 9 runs.
For big-hitting fans, this is non-negotiable viewing: ADKR vs DC.
Warriorz Week: Back-To-Back Wins On Sunday And Monday
Sharjah Warriorz started the season with close losses. By the end of this stretch, they rewrote the whole script.
On Sunday afternoon, 14 December, they crossed MI Emirates at Abu Dhabi for a rematch and swung the result. Johnson Charles anchored the chase with a hard strike at the top, and Sikandar Raza closed the scene with a calm fifty-plus, and he carried Sharjah to a six-run win after a tight closing stretch.
Watch that revenge story play out: MIE vs SW (14 Dec).
On Sunday night, Desert Vipers played Dubai Capitals, and the Vipers delivered a strong statement. They chased a solid Capitals total, shaped the innings with control, set Sam Curran at the helm, and hit the target with five wickets in hand to close the chase. That win kept their unbeaten streak alive and showed why Desert Vipers stand as a team nobody wants to face in contests.
You can catch every over here: DV vs DC (14 Dec).
On Monday, 15 December, Sharjah Warriorz faced the Gulf Giants and ended this run of fixtures. Warriorz raised a 170-plus total built around Tom Abell’s crisp 68, and their bowling unit, led by Matheesha Pathiran, held the Giants to 163/9 to claim an 11-run victory.
Don’t miss their best all-round display of the season so far: SW vs GG (15 Dec).
