Gulf Giants have won the toss and have opted to field

17:00 Local Time, 13:00 GMT, 18:30 IST: Hello everyone and a warm welcome to today's second match of the ILT20. Two teams that are currently at the bottom of the points table will face-off against each other. Gulf Giants are the only team yet to get off the mark this season as they've lost both their matches. While the first loss against Sharjah went down to the wire, they were very sloppy in their defeat against Desert Vipers. Below-par with the bat and dropped plenty of catches. Can the 2023 champions come up with a better performance? They are up against a team that's lost two on the bounce as well. After a nervy 1-run win over MI Emirates in the season-opener, Dubai Capitals lost against the same opponents before being humbled by Sharjah Warriorz yesterday. Their score of 201 was hunted down comfortably. Shai Hope has played two outstanding knocks but hasn't ended up on the winning side. Another high-scoring encounter in Sharjah? Let's find out. Toss and team updates coming up in half an hour...
