Dubai, 11 December 2025: The race for the four iconic belts — the Green (Best Batter), White (Best Bowler), Red (Most Valuable Player), and Blue (Best UAE Player) — is officially underway at the DP World International League T20 Season 4. With the competition in full swing, players across all six teams are eyeing these prestigious honours, adding an extra layer of intensity to every outing. The tournament has already thrilled fans, delivering a series of nail-biting encounters, including the first Super Over in the league’s history. 

Pathum Nissanka has surged to the front of the Green Belt race, compiling 204 runs from three innings, including three successive half-centuries. The Gulf Giants opener is also out in front for the Red Belt with 281 points, underlining his early dominance in the tournament. Azmatullah Omarzai sits atop the White Belt standings with nine wickets from three outings, while Desert Vipers’ Khuzaima Tanveer leads the Blue Belt tally, having contributed 50 runs and six wickets for 154 points. 

Over the last three seasons, the league’s signature belts have become a symbol of excellence, honouring the standout performers of each edition. Additionally, the winner of each belt is recognised with a cash prize of USD 15,000 apart from the USD 700,000 and 300,000 reserved for the DP World ILT20 winners (Black Belt) and runners-up respectively. 

Last season saw Sam Curran secure the Red Belt as the Most Valuable Player after scoring 387 runs and taking 7 wickets for the Desert Vipers, narrowly edging out Dubai Capitals’ Gulbadin Naib. 

Capitals’ Shai Hope claimed the Green Belt with 527 runs while MI Emirates’ Fazalhaq Farooqi earned the White Belt with 21 wickets. MI Emirates’ opener Mohammad Waseem won the Blue Belt as the Best UAE Player with 183 runs, 13 sixes and six catches. 

Points Scoring System

Green Belt (Best Batter)

Batters will receive 1 point for every run scored. Additional bonus points are awarded for boundary-hitting and milestones: 1 point for every four, 2 points for every six, 5 points for a fifty, and 15 points for a hundred. The winner will also get USD 15000 prize money. 

Base Points

Bonus Points

  • 1 point for every four 
  • 2 points for every six 
  • 5 points for a half-century 
  • 15 points for a century 

White Belt (Best Bowler)

Bowlers accumulate points based on wickets and economical bowling. They receive 10 points for every wicket taken. Bonus points include 1 point for every dot ball, 15 points for a three-wicket haul, and 25 points for a five-wicket haul.  

Base Points

Bonus Points

  • 1 point per dot ball 
  • 15 points for a three-wicket haul 
  • 25 points for a five-wicket haul 

Red Belt (Most Valuable Player) & Blue Belt (Best UAE Player)

These categories include batting and bowling points along with fielding contributions. Players earn 5 points for a catch, 5 points for a direct-hit run-out, 5 points for a stumping, and 10 points for a Player of the Match award.  

Base Points

Fielding Points

  • 5 points per catch 
  • 5 points for a direct-hit run-out 
  • 5 points per stumping 
  • 10 points for Player of the Match 

Composite Bonus Rule

Composite bonuses will not be applied. This means a player scoring a century will receive 15 points only, not an additional five points for crossing fifty. Similarly, a five-wicket haul earns 25 points only, without adding the 15 points given for a three-wicket haul.  

Super Over performances will not count towards the belts.
