The ILT20 trophy
The trophy was made by Thomas Lyte, the London silversmiths, and unveiled on 10 October 2022. It is a silver trophy in the shape of a falcon, the UAE's national bird. A seven-pointed crown weaves together the seven Emirates, shaped as sand dunes inspired by the sands of Tel Moreeb in Abu Dhabi, and it clasps a cricket ball as its finial. At 830 mm tall, it reflects the 830 m height of the Burj Khalifa.
Note: 2023 tables listed the Sharjah side as Sharjah Warriors; it is the same franchise now called Sharjah Warriorz.
Season stories
2023: a first champion. Gulf Giants topped the first league table with 16 points, from seven wins, two defeats and one no-result. Desert Vipers finished second on 14 points. The Giants then beat the Vipers by 7 wickets in the final in Dubai. Chris Jordan took 20 wickets and was player of the series. Alex Hales made 469 runs, the most in the season. At the other end, Abu Dhabi Knight Riders won once in ten games. The first season set the shape that has stayed since: six teams, ten games each, four into the playoffs.
2024: MI Emirates edge a tight table. MI Emirates and Gulf Giants both finished on 12 points, with MI Emirates ahead on net run rate. Dubai Capitals and Abu Dhabi Knight Riders both finished on 10 points. MI Emirates then beat Dubai Capitals by 45 runs in the final in Dubai, making 208 for 3 against 163 for 7. James Vince made 356 runs, the most in the season. Fazalhaq Farooqi and Waqar Salamkheil shared the most wickets with 17 each. Sikandar Raza of Dubai Capitals was player of the series. The season showed how thin the margins are: two ties at the top and two ties in the middle, all settled by net run rate.
2025: the table-topper loses the final. Desert Vipers topped the league with 14 points, but Dubai Capitals won the title, chasing 190 in 19.2 overs in the final in Dubai. Shai Hope made 527 runs, the most in the season. Fazalhaq Farooqi took 21 wickets, the most in the season. Sam Curran of Desert Vipers was player of the tournament with 387 runs and 7 wickets. That is a different award from most runs, and the two should not be mixed up. Sharjah Warriorz finished third, their best finish in the four seasons so far, after beating MI Emirates in the Eliminator and losing to Desert Vipers in Qualifier 2.
2025-26: Desert Vipers, third time lucky. The Vipers had lost the 2023 final and the 2025 final. In 2025-26 they topped the league with 16 points and beat MI Emirates by 46 runs in the final in Dubai. Sam Curran made 397 runs, the most in the season, and led both the Green Belt for best batter and the Red Belt for most valuable player. Waqar Salamkheil and Ajay Kumar shared the most wickets with 18 each. At the foot of the table, Gulf Giants took fifth place on net run rate, minus 0.310 against minus 0.815 for Sharjah Warriorz, with both sides on 6 points. The full story of each title is in the champions history.
