Warriors don't make it the full 20 overs and it's been a poor performance. Some ordinary shots and not adjusting to the slowness of the pitch. Whenever they got any semblance of control, Warriors promptly picked a wicket to stay on top. Watt applied the brakes in the powerplay with his unique spin wizardry and then it was Theekshana who took four wickets and only conceded 20 runs with 12 dots. Watt leaked only 15 and bowled 14 dots in his tight spell. They never allowed Capitals to break free and this bowling attack seemed perfectly suited to conditions in Sharjah. Theekshana has leapfrogged Trent Boult in the leading wicket-takers' column. I'll be back for the chase shortly

DaWolf: "@Yoel - Powell is a very hit or miss kind of player. He can hit sixes but he's also very likely to just give his wicket away on another day." And he likes pace on the ball so he wouldn't have enjoyed batting in these conditions
