Shakib Al Hasan top-scored for Dubai Capitals with an unbeaten 58  •  Ashley Allen/GSL T20

Dubai Capitals 165 for 7 (Shakib 58*, Atal 41, Schaw 3-27, Tickner 2-27) beat Central Districts 143 for 8 (Bruce 34, Shakib 4-13, Tanveer 2-28) by 22 runs
Shakib Al Hasan starred with both bat and ball for Dubai Capitals to give the ILT20 champions a winning start in the Global Super League over New Zealand's Central Districts.
Shakib first held fort in the middle order, striking seven fours and a six in his unbeaten 37-ball 58 from No. 5 to help Capitals post 165 for 7 in their 20 overs. Then he dismissed four of the top-six batters in the Central Districts line-up to derail their chase, finishing with figures of 4 for 13 at an economy rate of 3.25.
In their batting innings, Capitals had their base set courtesy opener Sediqullah Atal's 25-ball 41, but Angus Schaw's three-wicket burst through the middle overs brought Central Districts back. Despite the middle-overs wobble, Shakib combined with No. 7 Jesse Bootan (20) and No. 8 Dominic Drakes (11) to lift them to a respectable total.
Central Districts made a promising start to the chase as Will Young (19) and Dane Cleaver (21) added 30 for the first wicket. But Shakib's two powerplay wickets - of Young and Dean Foxcroft - brought Capitals back into the contest.
Shakib then bowled both Josh Clarkson and William Clark, before UAE's Khuzaima Tanveer cleaned up the tail. Central Districts captain Tom Bruce top-scored with 34.
