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.
