The Gulf Giants, who had put on an incredible and magical performance, brought home the trophy in a grand way at the inaugural edition of the DP World ILT20. A total of 11 players, from the first season, have been retained for the upcoming edition of the DP World ILT20.
An excellent unbeaten 72 off just 50 balls from T20 great Chris Lynn and a typically belligerent 25 not out off 13 balls from finisher Shimron Hetmyer helped the Gulf Giants win the inaugural edition of the International League T20.
Captain James Vince led from the front by playing a match-winning knock of unbeaten 83 runs off just 56 balls to help the Giants chase down a target of 168 in 18.1 overs.
