9.57pm That's it from us for tonight. We hope you've enjoyed our coverage. Until next time, good night!

Adam Zampa is the Player of the Match: "Good to be here, slightly jetlagged still, but good to be here. We're used to that now, coming into new environments, fitting in as soon as possible. I've played in the UAE quite a bit, we've had the World Cup and some of the IPLs here too. We needed to get wickets in the middle to make a game of it. They got off to a flier and had some dangerous guys in the middle, so it was good to make a difference."

Colin Munro: "I thought they bowled exceptionally well, and other players stepped up today, not just Alex Hales. We were a few runs short, but we bowled outstandingly well to defend it. We probably weren't as proactive against the spinners as we could have been, but with our bowling line-up, anything above 140 is competitive. I thought the way TC came in and bowled three in the end, same with Pathirana, was excellent. [On the lack of bowling changes:] I usually make a lot of changes, but I thought tonight, spin was tough to hit [so I bowled Hasaranga and Mustafa for eight overs straight]."

Rovman Powell: "It's pretty disappointing. Going into the last five, the game was ours, but credit to them, they bowled well in the last five. It's two points we really needed that we missed. We still have three more games, hopefully we can focus on those. Credit to our bowlers, the way we bowled in the last eight overs was commendable. If we had a better start, that would have also helped us. [On Zampa:] World-class bowler who delivered a world-class performance. That is why he's here."

Adarsh: "Never thought 149 could be defended at Dubai, and that too with the chasing side only losing 5 wickets."

9.38pm The Vipers go top of the table with this result, and what a performance it's been from their death bowlers. Colin Munro used his bowlers unconventionally, bowling them in long spells and in their preferred phases. Just the four bowling changes all innings. It left Pathirana and Curran needing to bowl the last six overs between them, with the Capitals needing 58 from 36. They conceded 25 off the first two, which left Capitals needing 33 off 24, and looking perfectly on course. But those last four overs were full of high-class death bowling, and even though Rovman Powell and Yusuf Pathan batted through those overs, they could only hit one boundary in those 24 balls. Amazing stuff.

Curran to Powell, no run, ends the game with a slower ball outside off. Looks to slog it away, misses, and Curran lets out a roar. What a job he and Pathirana have done here

Curran to Powell, no run, terrific. Wide yorker, not very wide, but perfect yorker length, and Powell ends up leaving it alone. There's not much he could have done with it, to be fair

13 off 2. Two sixes and it's a tie.

Curran to Powell, 1 wide, slower ball, full and angling down leg. Powell misses the flick, and then pulls his feet out of the way to pick up the wide

Curran to Pathan, 1 run, another near-yorker, on leg stump. It's too full to get under, at any rate, and all Yusuf can do is drill it along the ground to long-on

15 off 3.

Curran to Powell, 1 run, looks for the leg-stump yorker, ends up bowling at the pads, and Powell whips it wristily but straight to deep backward square leg

16 off 4. What a strangle this has been. Powell is batting outside his crease.

19.2
1
Curran to Pathan, 1 run, in the blockhole, pretty much, on the stumps. Gets his front leg out of the way and drives to long-on
