The Dubai Capitals will take on the Sharjah Warriorz in Match 27 of the International League T20 (ILT20) 2025–26 at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium on Wednesday, December 24.

The Dubai Capitals have had a mixed season so far. They have won four matches and lost four from their eight games. Led by Mohammad Nabi, the Capitals are coming into this match with good confidence after strong wins against Sharjah Warriorz and Gulf Giants. A win here will help them stay solid in the playoff race.

The Sharjah Warriorz are currently at the bottom of the points table. They have struggled throughout the season but showed some fight in their last match, with a four-wicket win over Abu Dhabi Knight Riders. Having lost two games back-to-back earlier, they would now look at building on the momentum and finishing the league stage on a high note.
