West Indies ODI captain Shai Hope enjoyed an excellent run of form during the league phase of the ongoing 2025 International League T20 (ILT20) season in the United Arab Emirates. The 31-year-old finished the season as the leading run-scorer with 467 runs in his 10 innings for the Dubai Capitals.

He made those runs at an average of 66.71 and a strike rate of 126.90, hitting one hundred and three fifties.

The Barbadian also finished not out on three occasions.

His highest score of 101 came against the MI Emirates in their second game of the season on January 12 and he followed that up with 83* against the Sharjah Warriorz four days later.

In his last five innings of the preliminaries, Hope made scores of 47, 74*, 45, 36 and 52*.

He will be looking to bring this form into the playoffs which begin on Wednesday when his Dubai Capitals will take on the Desert Vipers in qualifier one.

The winner of that encounter will advance straight to the final.
