Gulf Giants will be defending a slightly subpar total of 139. They were five down around 50 and it was a struggle for them as James Vince played the anchor role, scoring 58 off 53, holding the innings together while losing wickets from the other end. Some help from Usman Khan at the top and a 30-run unbeaten knock from Chris Jordan has given them something to fight with. It was a well-knit bowling performance from Dubai Capitals, and the spinners brought the innings to a halt, with Haider Ali returning 1/18 and Zahir Khan remaining wicketless but conceding only 25 in his quota of overs. There were many dots in the innings and some of the deliveries kept very low which made life tough for the batters. Early wickets, and you never know; it may set off alarm bells for Capitals as well. Stay with us for the start of the chase; we will be back shortly.

Siddhartha: "Is there a possibility, after this performance, Vince will get a chance in England's T20 world cup squad, at least the 15?"

Imad Siddiquii : "I think 140/150 would be good score on this track and Skipper Vince still on the crease so game is 50/50 still. "

Kuggeleijn to Overton, 2 runs, Pace off delivery on a length wide of off, heaved over the bowler's head with minimal timing and man at deep scuttles around to cut it off as they run hard for the second

Kuggeleijn to Jordan, 1 run, Bit short and gets some width to work with, tries to lump him for a six down the ground, hasn't got all of it and Powell missed it in the lights, lands short of him, didn't leak a boundary

1b
Kuggeleijn to Overton, 1 bye, Pitched up and swaying across off, swing and a miss, shy at the non-striker's end, not a rocket throw and Kuggeleijn had some time to aim at the stumps but can't hit them, was a really good slow ball, direct hit would have been curtains

Kuggeleijn to Jordan, SIX, What a way to start the final over! That has been belted out of the screws. Might long six over deep midwicket, a rapacious loft for six, exactly what was required

Stone to Vince, OUT, Hammered in and veering leg side, takes the pace off, in his hitting arc and he goes for the big shot down the ground, Powell tracks the ball from the bat, through the air, towards him and then into his hand! Excellent catch but what an innings from James Vince when his team was in dire straits
