Dubai Capitals (DC) and Sharjah Warriorz (SW) are set for a thrilling clash in the 27th match of the ILT20 2025-26 season. The match is scheduled to be held at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium in Dubai on Wednesday, December 24. Dubai Capitals Dubai Capitals won their maiden ILT20 title last year, but they have failed to deliver up to the expectations this year. They are having a mixed tournament, winning four matches and losing four as well in their total 8 matches played so far. However, they have returned to their track with back-to-back victories in the tournament. They defeated the Gulf Giants by 6 wickets in the last match. Mustafizur Rahman delivered a match-winning spell, taking three wickets for the team. They are currently sitting in the third spot with 8 points. Sharjah Warriorz Meanwhile, the Warriorz are at their best this season. However, their last match victory over Abu Dhabi Knight Riders would have given them a much-needed confidence boost. This victory came at a crucial time when it was the need of the hour for the team; it also broke their two-match winless streak. The Warriorz chased down the total of 135 runs, but Adil Rashid was the standout performer with an impressive bowling spell where he took three wickets for just 18 runs. They are sitting in fourth position on the leaderboard with 6 points.
