Match Analysis

Asked to bat, the Giants posted a total of 153 for five, which the Capitals chased with eight balls remaining.

Gulf Giants' skipper James Vince (24:15b, 4x4) took his team off to a flying start with the bat. Wicketkeeper Jordan Cox (70:53b, 4x4, 1x6), who batted at number three, slammed a vital half-century and batted till the last over, making sure that he took his team to a fighting total. Gerhard Erasmus (29:27b, 1x4, 1x6) supported Cox well as the duo added 69 runs together. Then Shimron Hetmyer (17 not out:15b, 2x4) finished the innings on a high.

Capitals' skipper Sikandar Raza (26 not out:15b, 1x4, 1x6) kept his team in the hunt, but the real blitz came from the bat of Dasun Shanaka (34 not out:10b, 3x4, 3x6) in the end. The Raza-Shanaka pair added 44 runs for the sixth wicket as Dubai Capitals chased the target with five wickets in hand.
