From excitement to hope to belief to disappointment, the last few hours have been a rollercoaster, but what remains at the end of it all is our pride in this team. The MI Emirates gave it their all, fought with all their might, but fell just short of the final hurdle.&nbsp;“It was pretty good. We started off not so well, but in the last five games we turned it up. We lost in one of the playoffs and then the best game we played was in the second Qualifier. But over here, unfortunately we fielded really badly at the start of the game, which cost us around 25 runs. The par score here was about 175. The wicket was very good. I think it was probably the best wicket we played on in Dubai… There is no excuse here. We lost, we lost. We lost to a better team today,” said Head Coach, Robin Singh.&nbsp;It caps off what has been a month of breakneck cricket in the desert. From a up and down start to the season to getting on a roll, it’s been one that the MIE fam will cherish. Winning games from the jaws of defeat, spinning a web and defending low totals, pulling off some clinical wins, the season had it all.&nbsp;The feeling of being at home and playing for a team you care about is what makes the MI Family special. Robin spoke about the core ethics and culture that make the franchise stand out.&nbsp;“It's about having a really strong foundation. They scout around for players, believe in players, trust players, they look after players, injuries. Not many people know that. They are willing to go that extra mile to support a player. Not many franchises don’t do that. It doesn’t matter if the player is from a different country. As long as you are part of the team, they feel responsible for all these things. This is the sort of culture they have set,” he said.&nbsp;“Apart from that they have the facilities to practice. They are always in touch with players who play for us. They are in touch with players who play in different franchises. It is all about the environment in sport. You want to play for a very good environment in sport. If the environment is good, it is easy to perform when things are taken care of. Everything is looked after.”That would be it then for season four. Some wonderful memories, some heartbreaks. But a fight to be proud of throughout.&nbsp;This is MI Family. This is MI Team. This is MI Pride. We are MI Emirates.&nbsp;

This is not how it was supposed to end. This is not what we had manifested. But what a wonderful season this was. Sometimes wonderful things don’t have the end you’d hoped for. Sometimes they end in heartbreaks. Sometimes we just have to doff our hat to the opposition for playing better cricket on the night.&nbsp;Congratulations, Desert VipersMI Emirates, in fact, did a good job restricting the Vipers to 182/4 with some tight final overs. Our batters kept us in the hunt until the end too. We had hope and reason to believe. But it wasn’t to be. With regular wickets, the Vipers derailed our chase and got home to win their maiden trophy.&nbsp;Farooqi’s double strikesOne big moment of cheer for MIE came in Fazalhaq Farooqi’s first over, where he dismissed the dangerous openers, Jason Roy and Fakhar Zaman, who were off to a flier. Although Sam Curran and Max Holden, and then Dan Lawrence, got big partnerships, our bowlers kept the asking rate in check all through.&nbsp;The Waseem kind of a startMuhammad Waseem did Muhammad Waseem things, getting the team off to a flier with his 13-ball 26. But after he fell in the sixth over, and the MIE were down at 54/4, the middle order had a lot to rebuild, and that meant taking the foot off the gas leading to the asking rate going up. They fought, hard, but it simply wasn’t out night.MIE Fam, we know this hurts. But we are proud of our boys for carrying us this far. For all the entertainment and the good memories over the last month, let’s give them a loud shoutout!&nbsp;

And this is how it begins. Let’s keep the cabinet ready, title #2 is all set to come home!&nbsp;Oh what a season it has been. A win follows a loss and a loss follows a win in the first half of the tournament, five wins on the bounce in the second half, a loss in the first Qualifier meaning a longer route to get into the final, a thumping win in the Eliminator, and now, a chance at becoming the first team to win two ILT20 titles.&nbsp;It had everything typical of a season an MI team has anywhere around the world. They may be slow starters, but the dominance is certain. “I guess it has been a typical MI performance, not starting off too well. Not something we actually like, but that has followed us all around. Having said that, the guys have really rallied around what we needed to do and they have done well. We have had a lot of misses, guys going out, injuries, but we have put all of that behind us and delivered some good cricket. We are deserving finalists, coming up against the best team in the tournament so far. It’s going to be a tough encounter,” said skipper Kieron Pollard in the Pre-Final Captains’ press conference.The Desert Vipers have been the team to beat – topping the table in the league stage and then kind of comprehensively beating us in the Qualifier as well. We have some redemption at stake as well. With both teams in top form, it promises to be one high quality contest. And by the end of the night, we are all set to paint Dubai in our Blue and Gold!What: THE GRAND FINAL&nbsp;| Desert Vipers vs MI Emirates&nbsp;When: January 4, 2026 | 6:30pm local time, 8:00pm ISTWhere: Dubai International Cricket Stadium, Dubai&nbsp;What to expect: An MI team knows what it takes to win tournaments. MI Emirates have been there, done that. We know how to build momentum leading into the final. We know to win the big moments. MIE Fam, title #2 is all decked up. Let’s bring it home!&nbsp;

THE GRAND FINAL | DVvMIE: This looks like a typical MI team season, reckons Kieron Pollard

imgonline-com-ua-resize-yq2KkAUhDGVeCN5.jpg

The message is simple – to keep it simple. The MI Family knows what it takes to win the big moments. And Bowling Coach, Vinay Kumar, has been part of many such moments himself. Here he is, looking back and forward in the post-match press conference. Excerpts..&nbsp;On Rohid Bangash’s bowling performance&nbsp;He bowled really well. It wasn’t easy at all because Zahoor was supposed to play in this game. Before the toss he got injured and Rohid came in. Credit goes to him for the way he performed. It isn’t easy for any player to prepare in 10 minutes. That is why we bought him at the Auction. He was our main player in the last season. Really happy. The Sharjah wickets skids on and the areas he bowled was really good and the temperament was top class.&nbsp;Message to the team for the FinalKeep it simple. Yes, it is the final, but at the end of the day, it is just another cricket game. You need to be focused. You need to be calm, relaxed, understand the conditions and play good cricket.&nbsp;A look back at MI Emirates’ campaign&nbsp;If you look back, we won five out of five in the league stage. Yes, we lost in the first qualifier, but credit has to be given to the captain and the coaching staff for keeping everyone in the loop. It’s important to make sure the players remain in the middle path, not go too high or too low. That is the biggest strength in MIE where they back the players. When it comes to crunch situations, the seniors step up and perform for the team. If you look at Shakib, he didn’t get an opportunity initially when Rashid Khan was there and this was the first time he went out to bat at number four, and the way he performed was outstanding. They all feel like this is home. Only then can they come up with such a performance.On Kieron Pollard’s captaincy&nbsp;He has played a lot of cricket. In T20 cricket, he is a legend. He understands the game really well. When a batter is under pressure he himself comes and stands at short leg or silly point where he puts more pressure on batters to go for big shots. He is looking much fitter and leaner and he mentioned that he would love to play for a few more years. He is working really hard and it is paying off nicely.&nbsp;On input of other coaches in the MI universe&nbsp;We have worked as a team. Everyone will be very happy with the way the team has performed. There is another game happening in South Africa today and everyone is very keenly watching that game. It is a one family and everyone will be very happy. If required, they will chip in with their inputs and we will be very happy to take that and move forward.&nbsp;Thoughts on the wicketThe wicket was very skiddy. When you come to Sharjah, we expect this kind of a track. We’ve always mentioned to batters playing here to look to play straight, and not go for the horizontal shorts. That was very visible. When a batter played straight, they got runs, whenever they played across, they struggled. That’s how the wicket played. &nbsp;&nbsp;
