Complete ILT20 Winners List

Times are changing and now, we don’t have to wait for months at a stretch to watch T20 franchise cricket. Now, every country has got their own franchise league and UAE has jumped in on the action as well, with the launch of the International League T20 (ILT20) which launched in 2023 with their first season between 13 Jan – 12 Feb 2023.

While the first season was supposed to be played in early 2022, it was postponed for a bit and it’s finally here. And while the 2023 ILT20 season is still the first edition of the competition, we expect it to grow into a massive event on the cricketing calendar in years to come. So keep reading below to check out our complete ILT20 winners list…

Desert Vipers, Dubai Capitals, Abu Dhabi Knight Riders, MI Emirates, Sharjah Warriors, and Gulf Giants are the six franchise teams in this competition and each of them have got brilliant international talent in their respective squads. The DP World ILT20 is usually played at the same time as the Big Bash League, Bangladesh Premier League, as well as SA20 League in South Africa.

At the time of updating this, the second edition of the International League T20 had concluded, so you can check out our list of ILT20 winners from start till date, last updated on 18th February 2024, at the end of the 2024 ILT20 competition, where the MI Emirates emerged victorious against Dubai Capitals in Dubai itself.

Three of the six franchises are owned by Indian Premier League (IPL) team owners, and they’ll be some of the favourites to take on the competition and win the first edition. At the 2023 ILT20 opening ceremony, international artists like Jason Derulo and Indian rapper Badshah were seen entertaining the crowds, while Shah Rukh Khan was also seeing speaking to the audience later.

The matches of the inaugural season of this tournament took place in Dubai, Sharjah and Abu Dhabi. The ILT20 2023 final was scheduled to take place at the Dubai International Stadium on the 12th of Feb 2023, where Gulf Giants beat Desert Vipers in the inaugural final. We’re expected it to be a super-exciting season and we weren’t disappointed at all, winning the first edition of this tournament’s history.

Chris Lynn smashed an unbeaten 72* in the final while Carlos Brathwaite ended with 3 wickets, and these two international stars helped them get the first DP World ILT20 title in Dubai. As for the tournament’s leaders, Alex Hales topped the run scoring charts while Chris Jorda ended with the most wickets, both of them representing the England national side.
