8:13pm MI Emirates stutter and stumble their way to 159, which seemed unimaginable when they reeled off 75 runs in the powerplay. Their innings nosedived thereafter, though. Wickets continued to tumble and the Capitals applied the squeeze via their spinners. Raza was the star of the show, picking up three important wickets. Holder also bagged a three-wicket haul, with Raja and Chameera also acing their respective roles.
MI Emirates, meanwhile, will look at this innings as a missed opportunity. They seemed primed to go past 200 at one stage, but could only end up with 159. Apart from Fletcher and Waseem, none of the others got going, and they have a tough job on their hands defending this score. Join us in a bit for the run-chase!
Jason Holder: (What is important in these conditions) Try to hit your lengths and use the big boundaries. Don't necessarily have to bowl full. There was a bit of movement with the new ball. It was an outstanding catch (to dismiss Smeed). He (Warner) is a top man. I enjoy playing with him and under him. He is a good guy, he is a fighter on the field. We have to get off to a good start. (On the run-chase) We need to attack the powerplay, and it is also a ground where you can make up at the back end.
