In 2024, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) cricket team had a triumphant year, clinching the ACC Men’s Premier Cup with a remarkable victory over Oman in the final. A standout contributor to their success was Aayan Afzal Khan, whose stellar bowling performance throughout the tournament played a pivotal role in securing the trophy for UAE.

In the first two weeks of April, our Gulf Giants have shown off their skills in various cricket tournaments, and boy, have they been impressive! Let’s have a look at their performances:

The DP World ILT20 wrapped up a few weeks ago, and while our Gulf Giants didn't clinch the title, we had a commendable season, making it to the Playoffs. Many of our players have been staying busy, transitioning from the ILT20 to international matches and now into the Indian T20 League.

As Season 2 of the DP World ILT20 comes to a close, we reflect on an exhilarating journey. While our aim was to defend the title, the path was challenging. Dubai Capitals emerged victorious in Qualifier 2, securing a well-deserved spot in the finals. Despite the setback, we hold immense pride in our team's relentless efforts throughout the tournament.

Qualifier 1 did not go as planned, and our Gulf Giants faced a tough defeat against MI Emirates. Our next challenge is facing the Dubai Capitals in Qualifier 2, with the goal of reaching the final for the second time in a row. Despite losing Qualifier 1 in the previous season, we turned things around to win the tournament, and we're drawing strength from that experience.

Qualifier 1 did not unfold as we hoped, with MI Emirates emerging victorious over our Gulf Giants by 45 runs. Their stellar performance earned them a well-deserved spot in the Finals, while we must regroup ahead of Qualifier 2 against the Dubai Capitals in our pursuit to defend the DP World ILT20 title.

It's time for a pivotal showdown in the ILT20's second season as we gear up for Qualifier 1 against MI Emirates. Our sights are set on defending our title, and this match marks the beginning of our journey towards that goal. We are brimming with confidence and determination as we prepare to take on MI Emirates in what promises to be an exhilarating challenge.

What a thrilling game it was! The Gulf Giants’ victory against the Abu Dhabi Knight Riders after a remarkable comeback secures our place in the Playoffs in dramatic fashion. 

The Gulf Giants are gearing up for our final league match against the Abu Dhabi Knight Riders, knowing that a win will secure our place in the Playoffs. Our recent run of three consecutive victories has boosted our confidence, and we are eager to defend our DP World ILT20 title.

The Gulf Giants are ecstatic as they edge closer to the Playoffs in the second season of the DP World ILT20. In a thrilling match, we successfully defended a total of 158 runs against a strong MI Emirates team, securing a crucial victory and positioning ourselves well for the title defense.

We are in the crucial phase of the ILT20, with games coming thick and fast. Following a thrilling victory over the Dubai Capitals in our last game, the Gulf Giants are feeling ecstatic. Now, we are gearing up to face the toughest team in the tournament, MI Emirates. With a chance to qualify for the Playoffs, we are determined not to let our guard down against them.
