Abu Dhabi Knight Riders (ADKR) and MI Emirates (MIE) are set for a thrilling clash in the 11th match of the ILT20 2025-26 season. The match is scheduled to be held at the Zayed Cricket Stadium in Abu Dhabi on Thursday, December 11. Abu Dhabi Knight Riders Abu Dhabi Knight Riders started their new season with a commanding 39-run victory over the Warriorz in their opening game, but they couldn't continue their winning momentum as they lost their next three games against the Desert Vipers and Dubai Capitals and MI Emirates in the recent encounter. In the last match against the MIE, they were bundled out for just 122 runs in their first innings which MIE chased it down with 7 wickets in their hand. With two points in four games, they are sitting in fifth spot in the leaderboard. Dubai Capitals Dubai Capitals were phenomenal throughout the entire season last term, winning their maiden ILT20 title by chasing a 190-run target in the last over with four wickets in hand. But they have failed to continue their momentum this season--losing two and winning one match out of three matches they have played so far. They are missing the depth and balance this year but their last match victory might have boosted their morale for the rest of the season. In the last match, while batting first they posted 184 runs and bundled out the Knight Riders for just 103 runs. They are currently sitting in fourth spot in the table.
