- BATSMENRB4s6sSR2.6 slower ball ball chipped to cover! Superb over from Udana after restricting Vince. Ends the over with a slower length ball which Rehan Ahmed drives down uppishly but for a simple catch to mid-off 22/114.4 big swing down the ground, it's touch the moon before coming up, and Root takes it so casually - but in control - at long-on nicely. Raja celebrates with one arm lifted and one hand on his mouth. Vince has done his job 121/411.6 something for Mujeeb to smile about, Lynn has holed out to long-off with a leading edge. A legbreak on the stumps, Lynn miscues the swing and Karunaratne has his eyes on the ball all along to get under it nicely just inside the rope 104/213.4 taken at deep point! Erasmus plays a really good-looking drive but he's placed it almost right into the hands of deep point where Udana takes it with both hands. They check for the no ball and Powell is fine. His bowling change has worked 112/314.5 bowled'im! Perfect ball to beat the inside edge. A slightly wobbly seam on length outside off and the ball jags back in sharply to beat top of middle stump! 121/519.5 skies the big hit with a leading edge outside off off a slower ball and Udana calls for it before settling under it nicely for a return catch 175/6Extras4 (lb 1, w 3)TOTAL181/6 (20 Overs, RR: 9.05)Fall of wickets: 1-22 (Rehan Ahmed, 2.6 ov), 2-104 (Chris Lynn, 11.6 ov), 3-112 (Gerhard Erasmus, 13.4 ov), 4-121 (James Vince, 14.4 ov), 5-121 (David Wiese, 14.5 ov), 6-175 (Liam Dawson, 19.5 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR0.6 Edged and gone! Bangs it in back of a length outside off and that has troubled Uthappa before today and this time the ball takes the nick and the keeper makes no mistake. He takes it low and the Gulf Giants have an early wicket 2/16.4 Castled this time! Does him in with the googly. Tossed up outside off, Root misses his sweep again and this time the ball spins in sharply and hits off-stump. Rehan wheels away in celebration as Dubai Capitals continue to slide 39/44.2 Up goes the finger! On a length outside off, seams in but stays low as Suri misses his swipe. Struck on the back leg, and he was crouching as he tried to pull that away and the umpire reckons he is a goner. He has a chat with Root and opts against reviewing it 29/24.6 Second wicket in the over! Powell gives a return catch and Wiese makes no mistake! That was full on middle and off, pops back to the bowler as Powell looks to help it to the leg side but opens the face of the bat in the last second and Wiese does brilliantly to take a diving catch 31/311.2 Shanaka holes out at long-on. Dug in short and Shanaka makes room and looks to swing it down the ground but doesn't time it well. Chris Jordan is the fielder there, and he does not miss easy chances like those! 61/69.2 Straight to cover! That was a slower ball, full and wide, Yusuf stretched forward and looked to drive, but straight to Dawson and he takes a simple catch. Wiese has his third! 44/512.2 Well, there will be no doubt this time! On a length around off again, seaming in and Allen is too slow to get his bat down and the ball crashes into the stumps 67/714.1 Timberrrr! On a length just outside off, Karunaratne swings for the hills and finds nothing but air and the ball crashes into the stumps and Giants are now just a wicket away 80/913.4 Yorker fired in on leg-stump, Udana backed away and tried to drive it over the infield but could only get it as far as mid-off and Giants captain James Vince gobbles that up 76/814.3 That will be all! Jordan cleans up Akif Raja's stumps and he finishes with three wickets. Dubai Capitals are out for 80 in under 15 overs and Gulf Giants have won by 101 runs 80/10Extras8 (b 2, lb 4, w 2)TOTAL80 all out (14.3 Overs, RR: 5.51)Fall of wickets: 1-2 (Robin Uthappa, 0.6 ov), 2-29 (Chirag Suri, 4.2 ov), 3-31 (Rovman Powell, 4.6 ov), 4-39 (Joe Root, 6.4 ov), 5-44 (Yusuf Pathan, 9.2 ov), 6-61 (Dasun Shanaka, 11.2 ov), 7-67 (Fabian Allen, 12.2 ov), 8-76 (Isuru Udana, 13.4 ov), 9-80 (Chamika Karunaratne, 14.1 ov), 10-80 (Akif Raja, 14.3 ov)
