Dubai,
A new name will be etched into DP World ILT20 history as the Dubai Capitals and Desert Vipers clash for the Season 3 title at the Dubai International Stadium. After weeks of exhilarating cricket and a prize pool exceeding USD 1 million on the line, the tournament now reaches its grand conclusion.
Dubai Capitals enter the match with a formidable record, having secured five consecutive victories against the Desert Vipers in their past meetings. However, the Vipers have been the team to watch this season, locking in their playoff spot ahead of time with a commanding campaign that saw them win their first four matches on the trot. Despite a late-season stutter, including a loss to the Capitals in Qualifier 1, the Vipers bounced back with a comprehensive seven-wicket victory against the Sharjah Warriorz on Friday to secure their place in the final.
The DP World ILT20 boasts a total prize pool of over USD 1 million, with the champions earning USD 700,000 and the runners-up securing USD 300,000. Outstanding individual performances will be recognized through the tournament’s signature belts: the Green Belt for the highest run-scorer, the White Belt for the leading wicket-taker, the Red Belt for the most valuable player, and the Blue Belt for the best UAE player. Each belt winner will receive a cash prize of USD 15,000.
