With three teams already through and only one league match left, the ILT20 2025 playoff race has finally found some clarity. MI Emirates became the second side to qualify after dismantling Gulf Giants in Abu Dhabi, riding on a tight bowling effort and an unbeaten 140-run partnership between Nicholas Pooran and Muhammad Waseem. They now join Desert Vipers in the top two. After this, Dubai Capitals entered their way in the playoffs as well after they beat Sharjah Warriors.
That leaves two teams chasing the last playoff berth and just one day of league action remaining. The margin for error is slim and the remaining fixtures are perfectly positioned to decide the final four. One spot. Two contenders. Here’s how each of them stands.
