17:35 Local Time, 13:35 GMT, 19:05 IST: Hello and a warm welcome to the 26th match of the fourth edition of the ILT20 between MI Emirates and Gulf Giants in Abu Dhabi. The Emirates have won their last three matches on the trot and are shaping up nicely. Their senior pros have rose to the occasion and are contributing consistently. They only need to win one out of their remaining two league games to secure a playoff spot. The Giants, on the other hand, are going through a period of drought. After a good start to the season, they have lost four successive games. If they are to stay in contention for the playoffs, they will need to win both of their remaining league games. Things are heating up as we build up towards the business end of the tournament. Expect a cracker! Toss and team lineups will be announced shortly...
