- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR6.4 Got the big fish! Floated up another wrong'un on a fuller length outside off, he goes on with the flow and tries to clear the ground straight for a six but gets this more off the toe end it lobs up towards Rovman Powell who lines under the skier at mid-off, watches it closely till the very end and reverse pouches it safely into his hands, vital breakthrough for Dubai Capitals who were struggling in the powerplay but spin has stymied the run-flow a little bit 77/111.2 Round the wicket, slower through the air with a hint of spin outside off, the ace all-round provides the major breakthrough, gets the danger-man out of the equation, he tries to break free after the powerplay but ends up slog-sweeping it to Leus du Plooy who pockets the catch low while diving to his left. Pure elation for Raza as the entire team cluster together in joy. Good comeback from Capitals who know spin is the way to go! 102/216.5 Leus du Plooy has taken a gem! Thumped hard into the surface, a well-directed lifter in the channel, tries to whack that away across the line but hasn't got all of it, a top-edge went high into the night-sky, Plooy charged in from the deep and took a screamer diving forward, what a snare! 158/3Extras8 (lb 4, nb 1, w 3)TOTAL208/3 (20 Overs, RR: 10.4)Fall of wickets: 1-77 (Muhammad Waseem, 6.4 ov), 2-102 (Kusal Perera, 11.2 ov), 3-158 (Andre Fletcher, 16.5 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR0.2 Inverses his stance and tries to go for a big slog-sweep, fails to connect and that looks stone dead, they all appealed in unison and it looked plumb in front, that is a high risk shot but with the total on board I can understand the approach, man in red-hot-form departs without troubling the scorers. Hosein does Hosein things, picks wickets in the powerplay and he looks absolutely overjoyed! 0/18 HUGE BREAKTHROUGH! Outsmarted him there Zips it quicker down the leg side, I think he saw him advancing down the track to play a premeditated shot down the ground but didn't account for the turn and Viyaskanth was diligent enough to keep it away from his hitting zone, Nicholas Pooran with a lightening fast glovework whips off the bails in a flash and Tom Banton is not even waiting for the third umpire's decision, walking off towards the pavilion, just when things were looking good for Capitals, they have lost a wicket and MI Emirates keep finding ways to break partnerships! Another momentum breaker for Capitals 63/34.5 That will really good to Kieron Pollard! Hangs onto it brilliantly at long-off, ball sticks in his hands, easier catch, goes for the big hit without sizing up Rohid at all and duly perishes, got many chances but failed to capitalize, poor batting. Rohid is skiddy, rushes the batter with his quick-arm action and ball zips through the surface, difficult customer. Pollard is relieved though 37/213.4 He's gone! Argy-bargy in the middle as he bowls a magnificent wrong'un and he is stumped! Gives him a needless aggressive send-off and they have heated exchange of words in the middle. Landed it shorter and got it to spun away sharply, he was out of his crease and got beaten by the turn. With the asking rate creeping up, Capitals have to take risk and go big 113/512.4 Oh boy! Viyaskanth has got the prized scalp! Drags it short outside off, he rocked back and pumped it over the leg side but hasn't got the distance. Muhammad Waseem snaffled that while moving to his right. Raza had a fabulous tournament but gone early today. Was a difficult shot to execute, picking it from wide of off and playing it across the line 101/416.5 Has he cleared the ropes? No, he hasn't. Slow tennis ball bouncer wide of off, whacks a pull across the line and Muhammad Waseem gobbles it up with zen-like calm at cows corner region, as easy as you like. Manufactured power but it still wasn't enough. 133/618.2 Wrecked the stumps! He sounds the death rattle with a cross-seam delivery angled in from a hard length and hits the leg stump, Jason Holder got his front leg out of the way in a bid to pull it away but beaten by the pace and accuracy of Boult 150/7Extras12 (b 4, lb 4, w 4)TOTAL163/7 (20 Overs, RR: 8.15)Fall of wickets: 1-0 (Leus du Plooy, 0.2 ov), 2-37 (Tom Abell, 4.5 ov), 3-63 (Tom Banton, 8 ov), 4-101 (Sikandar Raza, 12.4 ov), 5-113 (Sam Billings, 13.4 ov), 6-133 (Rovman Powell, 16.5 ov), 7-150 (Jason Holder, 18.2 ov)
