Ahead of the second season of the DP World International League T20, the organisers stated that one of their aims for creating a greater fan following will be fostering tribalism and rivalries between their teams.

The UAE’s T20 league, which returns on Friday in Sharjah, is just one year old, so it stands to reason there are no long-standing enmities just yet.

Maybe the six franchises could borrow some of the fire that was on show in the final of the first ILT20 Schools Cup tournament.

Gems Modern Academy became the pioneering maiden champions, as they beat fellow Dubai side The Winchester School by six wickets in the final.
