In the 2024 ILT20, the Gulf Giants exemplify what a mediocre squad is. They are now in third place in a competition consisting of six teams, and they have already won three and lost three games. However, because they have the lowest net run rate in the league, the teams in the lower half of the standings may always pass them. Chris Lynn is one of their players who is third in the highest run table. And young Zohaib Zubair has taken nine wickets in the league so far, on whom the team has put their faith.

Jamie Smith (wk), James Vince (C), Chris Lynn/ Richard Gleeson, Jordan Cox, Usman Khan, Shimron Hetmyer, Carlos Brathwaite, Chris Jordan, Dominic Drakes, Mujeeb Ur Rahman, Zohaib Zubair
