Giants vs DC, 24th Match at Dubai, ILT20, Feb 06 2024 - Match Result

Now is that a clean run-out? Yes, it is and it's all over for Capitals. Haider Ali was halway down the pitch as Shanaka glances this off hips to short fine, Muzarabani pinged a sharp throw to Overton who showed amazing awareness and even though he was down on the ground, still made sure to whip off the bails. Haider is well short of the crease, belated attempt to run back seemed futile. I just felt Shanaka would have taken his side over the line with some support but what a game of cricket, so many ebbs and flows, twists and turns, an exhilarating low-scoring thriller but Capitals game to lose!

In the slot and ramped away! Misses the yorker and he slaughters this low-full toss over Hetmyer at cover for a brilliant boundary, what a response after that nasty blow on the helmet

Bouncer shoots up quickly and hits him on the neck guard which is off! That's a well-directed bumper that lifts alarmingly off the deck, concussion check underway, looks okay to continue. Got late on the pull and the ball followed him

Shrieking for a lbw and umpire shakes his head, Giants take the review. Nothing on the ultraedge. Pitching outside leg so we won't go any further and the review is lost. Pitched up and held its line on middle

Slashed this full ball to deep cover-point and canters across to the other end

Pitched full again and the shot was on, lashes it down the ground and got non-striker in the way, unlucky

Goes for a yorker but he's equal to the task, that's a marvelously fashioned four through James Vince extra cover and it has got just enough legs to reach the fence, a timely boundary for Capitals!

Good hard length ball on an attacking off stump line, belts it away to long-off, he's not going to die wondering

Over the wicket, stunning in-dipping yorker on middle and off, squeezed out towards third

Over the wicket, rams the yorker not quite right in the blockhole, gently caressed down to long-on and it's like a Test match where you have to farm the strike while batting alongside tailenders, does well to find a single

Fraction short and swaying across off, flashes at it and gets the ball running away to deep third

And it is a yorker but the line is not quite right, tails away from leg stump

Over the wicket, dug in short on middle, a calm under-controlled pull to deep backward square, how about try a yorker to Haider?

Charging in and lands it on a shortish length, gets it to zing back from outside off, inside edge skews away to wide of deep fine

Round the wicket, slightly short, kicking and screaming outside off, attempts a late cut and gets beaten

Bit short outside off, opens the face of his bat and runs it down to deep third for a run. Was the single really needed?

Round the wicket, fuller on off, knocks it down to long-off for a run

Tossed up from over the wicket, fuller and width on offer, hacks it away to deep backward point for run

Miscues the skier! Charges down the track on a delivery that was tossed on a length just outside off, tries to clobber him over deep midwicket but finds Erasmus who takes a superb diving catch, Capitals continue to shoot themselves in the foot

Over the wicket, tossed up and turns away late from outside off, tries to cut but only manages to cut fresh air
