Gulf Giants (GG) square off against Abu Dhabi Knight Riders (ADKR) in match No. 30 of the ongoing International League T20 (ILT20) 2025-26 at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium in Dubai on Sunday, December 28.

James Vince and Co. have won three matches so far and lost six. Jason Holder and Co. also have an identical win-loss record this season. However, the Giants have a better net run rate (-0.161) compared to Abu Dhabi Knight Riders (-0.805).

This is the last league games from both sides. Only one of them will go through to the playoffs as three teams have already qualified. So, Sunday's clash is actually a virtual quarter-final of sorts.

The average first-innings score so far in 13 matches in the ILT20 2025-26 is around 153. The captain who wins the toss is expected to bowl first. Pacers could make an impact when the ball is new, while the spinners will come into play as the game progresses.

Rahmanullah Gurbaz (WK), James Vince (C), Asif Khan, Moeen Ali, Lorcan Tucker, Azmatullah Omarzai, Kyle Mayers, Mark Adair, Haider Razzaq, Fred Klaassen, Tabraiz Shamsi.

Phil Salt (WK), Alex Hales, Brandon McMullen, Liam Livingstone, Alishan Sharafu, Sherfane Rutherford, Andre Russell, Jason Holder (C), Sunil Narine, Ajay Kumar, Olly Stone.

Rahmanullah Gurbaz has blown hot and cold in the tournament so far. In nine innings, he has scored 246 runs at an average of 27.33 and a strike rate of 152.79. He has registered two fifties so far. Gurbaz will look to get his team off to a flying start on Sunday.

Ajay Kumar has been one the star performers this season. In nine matches, he has picked up 14 wickets at an average of 19.78 and a strike rate of 15. He has a decent economy rate of 7.91. The left-arm seamer will be one of the bowlers to watch out for.
