Pre-Match Pitch Report: The pitch at Dubai International Cricket Stadium has proved to be beneficial for both batters as well as bowlers. With the match scheduled to be played on a used strip, expect spinners to play a huge role.  
Good evening everyone! Hello and a warm welcome to our coverage of Match 18 of the International League T20 featuring the Gulf Giants against the MI Emirates at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium, Dubai. I am Ayan Chatterjee soon to be joined by my co-commentator Saipavan Janaki alongside scorer/analyst Chandan Kumar Singh as we bring you all the live updates and ball-by-ball proceedings of this crucial clash.  
On match no.18 of the International League T20, Gulf Giants will square off against MI Emirates at the Dubai International Stadium, Dubai.

The Giants have suffered a defeat in their latest encounter against Sharjahg Warriors where they failed to chase down a target of 152 runs. Currently, they're at the crown position in the points table with 4 wins from 6 matches. One of their games was abandoned due to rain and therefore they have 9 points in their bag.

The MI Emirates have suffered some lethal bashing as they have lost two matches on a trot now. Their recent defeat was against the Desert Vipers where they failed to defend a total of 169 runs. The MI-owned franchise have 6 points with them at the moment. They've played a game less than that of the Giants and have won three matches.

They would look to get back to winning ways but Gulf Giants would be a serious hurdle to cross. Stay tuned as the live coverage begins at 6:30 PM IST.
