Sport from the far side of the world lands here before sunrise, which is how a cricket session or a late kick-off from the Americas ends up on a weekday morning. This page counts down to 12:07 am against your own device's clock, so the wait to first ball or first whistle is a number rather than a rough idea.
Nothing here is stored, sent or remembered. The page works out one number from your device's clock and draws it, and that is the whole of what it does. Closing the tab leaves nothing behind, and there is no history of times you have looked up sitting anywhere afterwards.
The Emirates keep Gulf Standard Time, UTC+4, and never move the clocks. Everything about time here follows from that: 12:07 am in January is the same 12:07 am in July, and the gap to London or Berlin changes twice a year because of what they do, not because of anything happening at this end.
Common questions
What happens once 12:07 am has passed for today?
The count rolls over and carries on towards the same time tomorrow. That happens on its own at the moment the time passes — the page does not need reloading and there is nothing to reset by hand.
Which clock does the countdown use?
Your own. It reads the local time and time zone from the device in front of you, which in the Emirates means Gulf Standard Time, UTC+4. Travel and the count follows whatever the device picks up.
Will it alert me when 12:07 am arrives?
No. This is a live figure rather than an alarm — nothing sounds, vibrates or notifies at zero. If you need interrupting at 12:07 am, set an alarm alongside it and use this page as the running total.
Do the clocks change here?
No. The UAE has no daylight saving at all, so the offset stays at UTC+4 in every month. When the gap to Europe or North America shifts, it is their clocks that moved, not yours.
