- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR1.1 Edged and taken! This was an incredible delivery that pitched on a length and was nibbling away in the corridor, draws an outside edge and Fletcher has to go! Jake Ball gets the prized scalp, absolutely spot on! 9/18.5 Tremendous riposte! A touch too full and it rearranges the stumps, that's a crucial breakthrough, man in form back in the hut. Zampa shows his dexterity in no uncertain terms 76/41.4 Traps him lbw! Pitched on a length and swerving away, hits him a bit high on the pad and he contemplates taking a review but then decides against it and he was walking off, another brute of a delivery and MIE are in trouble! 12/25.6 Done in the flight! Tucker is castled and DC celebrate, nice and full delivery and turns sharply to go through his defence. He was through the shot way too early, success for Raza in his first over as he just manages to find ways to outfox batters be it international cricket or T20 leagues 58/316.4 Fires it up outside off, he mistimes it and hands it straight to sweeper fielder as Zampa gets the big fish just when he was looking to up the ante, timely scalp for Dubai Capitals, 132/519.1 Round the wicket, length ball outside off, he lofts it over mid-off and doesn't get the distance on it, safely pouched by Powell and that's a vital wicket for Dubai Capitals 155/619.6 Back of a length delivery, wide of off, goes past the blade to the keeper who hits the bull's eye and Overton is short of his crease.

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR5.4 Tickle through to the keeper! Overton roars in celebration! That's a hostile line and cramps him for room as he attempts to steer down to covers, instead he can only feather through to Tucker who fumbles but recovers well to complete the catch. Nipped in off the seam and got the edge 44/16.2 Zahir strikes on the second ball! He was not picking him out of the hand and ends up miscuing the reverse sweep, the ball balloons as he hands a regulation catch to Wheal. Important breakthrough for MI 44/26.4 Another one bites the dust and Zahir is on fire! Powell tries to counter-attack, goes for the slog-sweep and doesn't get all of it, Mousley takes a spellbinding running catch and what a strike for MI! Zahir has got some serious talent! He is just not letting them get off the hook 44/3Extras9 (b 2, lb 1, nb 1, w 5)TOTAL166/3 (18.1 Overs, RR: 9.13)Fall of wickets: 1-44 (Robin Uthappa, 5.4 ov), 2-44 (George Munsey, 6.2 ov), 3-44 (Rovman Powell, 6.4 ov)
