After each match
Once a match ends, its result is written into this page with the score and the margin, newest first, and the ILT20 Points Table is updated to match. During play, the score is on the ILT20 Live Scores page. SialTV keeps the two pages in step, so a result on one page never disagrees with the other.
Thirty league matches run from 21 November to 14 December, then four playoffs: Qualifier 1 on 16 December, the Eliminator on 17 December, Qualifier 2 on 18 December in Sharjah, and the final on 20 December in Dubai. The full fixture list is on the ILT20 Schedule page.
