ILT20 Season 4 Full Schedule: One of the premier T20 leagues in the sport, the defending champions, Dubai Capitals, will face the Desert Vipers in the first clash of the DP World International League T20 Season 4. Interestingly, it will be a rematch of the ILT20 Season 3 final. Notably, the toss will take place at 7:30 PM IST with the first ball will be bowled at 8 PM IST.
