The 2024 International League T20 (also known as DP World International League T20 2024 or DP World ILT20 2024 for sponsorship reasons) [1] [2] was the second season of the International League T20, a professional Twenty20 cricket league in the United Arab Emirates, organised by the Emirates Cricket Board. The tournament was played from 19 January 2024 and the final was held on 17 February 2024. [3] [4] Gulf Giants were the defending champions. The matches were granted List A status by the ICC for fielding less domestic players as stipulated. [5]
In the final, MI Emirates defeated Dubai Capitals by 45 runs to win the title.
The UAE-based ILT20 was given List A status by the ICC shortly before the start of its second season. It is the first T20 league run by the board of an Associate nation to be given the status. [6]
The tournament will thus be recognised as an official T20 tournament, with all tournament statistics given official status. In a statement, the ILT20 called the update "a major milestone" and a "major boost".
Teams had the option of retaining players from the tournament's first season or acquiring new signings. [7] [8] [9]
