Phew, we saw entertaining knocks from Dasun Shanaka and Sikandar Raza, they came, saw and conquered, making light work of the chase, hitting the ball all around the park with ease and finesse and ending up making well-orchestrated half-centuries. Apart from Overton - who looked unplayable with his nagging line and lengths - nobody else was spared and bled runs as the carnage continued towards the very end. The chase got a bit derailed early on as DC found themselves in a spot of bother when the dextrous spinner Zahir Khan was introduced into the attack; he took two wickets in a cluster but the partnership between seasoned campaigners from Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe guided them comfortably to the doorstep of victory. As a result of the win, Dubai Capitals are now on the fourth spot and still in contention for the playoffs while MI Emirates have already qualified for the playoffs. Thanks for joining us, peeps. On that note, it's time for me (Rvel Zahid) and Binoy George to say goodbye
Nithin : "Fantastic again from shanaka. He always plays well against the opposition team if they have "India" in their name."

Tinura: "Loving to see self-proclaimed "Aiya and Malli" (two brothers) - Raza and Shanaka - guiding their team home together..."
Romal: "I wonder why some big players of MI E are missing. No pollard, Bravo, Najibullah or Farooqi. They all proved themselves as match winners "
Tinura: "How costly was that missed review?"
Asahel: "Just how different would this match be if MI Emirates had reviewed in Zahir's first over"
Aditya: "seems like both Dubai Capitals and Pretoria Capitals are playing simultaneously! "
Hashmatullah: "POORan is a POOR captain... be couldn't even get West Indies to qualify for T20 WC, and wouldn't be surprised if they don't for the ODI WC as well, so passive and weak captaincy for Zahir.
