Fireworks, flair and firsts, DP World ILT20 Season 4 delivered a finale to remember as the Desert Vipers lifted their maiden title, crushing MI Emirates by 46 runs at a packed Dubai International Stadium.

While the trophy glittered, the spotlight also shone brightly on the league’s iconic signature belts, with star performances keeping fans guessing right up to the final ball.

Calm under pressure and devastating with the bat, Curran’s unbeaten 74 in the final sealed the Vipers’ historic triumph and underlined his status as the league’s standout performer.

Desert Vipers clinch first-ever DP World ILT20 title with dominant win over MI Emirates

The Desert Vipers etched their name into DP World ILT20 history on Sunday night, lifting their first-ever league title after a commanding 46-run victory over MI Emirates at a packed Dubai International Stadium.

Led by an outstanding all-round performance from captain Sam Curran, the Vipers posted a competitive 182 for 4 before bowling MI Emirates out for 136 in 18.3 overs to seal the crown emphatically.

Curran starred with an unbeaten 74 off 51 balls, laced with eight fours and two sixes, anchoring the innings after early wickets. He found solid support from Max Holden (41) and Dan Lawrence (23) as the Vipers finished strongly in the death overs.

In response, MI Emirates never truly found momentum. The Vipers’ bowlers struck early and often, with Naseem Shah (3/18) setting the tone, while Usman Tariq (2/20) and Khuzaima Tanveer (2/22) applied the squeeze through the middle overs. David Payne’s late three-wicket burst shut the door on any hopes of a comeback.

The final was preceded by a spectacular pre-match build-up, featuring a dazzling fireworks display and a choreographed drone show that lit up the Dubai skyline, creating a carnival atmosphere befitting the season’s biggest night.

Curran capped off a dream tournament by claiming both the Red Belt (Most Valuable Player) and Green Belt (Best Batter) awards. He finished the season with 397 runs, three half-centuries, seven wickets and 10 catches, underlining his influence throughout the campaign.

MI Emirates showed brief resistance through Shakib Al Hasan (36) and Kieron Pollard (28), but early wickets and mounting required run rates proved too much to overcome.

With the win, the Desert Vipers walked away with the $700,000 winner’s prize and the Black Belt, while MI Emirates earned $300,000 as runners-up.

Speaking after the match, Curran said the title was a reward for consistency:

“We’ve been the most consistent team this season and I think we deserve the trophy. Finals bring nerves, but the group showed real character tonight.”

MI Emirates skipper Kieron Pollard admitted his side fell short on the night: “We weren’t sharp enough early on. In finals, those small moments make the difference. The Vipers deserved to win.”
