low full toss to finish, squirted into the covers - and that's it, Capitals win by 19 runs and take a grip on fourth spot in the race for the knockouts
DC vs MI Emirates, 29th Match at Abu Dhabi,ILT20, Feb 10 2024 - Match Result
10.08pm: That's back-to-back wins for Dubai Capitals at a vital time, they move on to 10 points and will be favourites to edge out Sharjah Warriors for the second qualifier. Warriors play bottom-placed Desert Vipers tomorrow but DC's NRR cushion is sizeable; and that result has also eliminated last year's runners-up, Vipers, who can get a maximum of 8 points. Capitals' stellar opening stand, 88 from 9.2 overs between Max Holden and Tom Banton, provided enough of a platform for a pretty comfortable victory in the end. Right, that's us pretty much done for tonight, but there's still a final to won over in the SA20. Why not join Andrew Miller for that? Bye!
short of a length, 138kph and swatted away to deep midwicket
dropped at mid-off! Another flying effort from Kuggeleijn, this time he got one hand to it but the catch went down!
Trent Boult is in
timbeeeeeeeerrrrrrr! Full and straight, 136kph and cleans him up as Bravo makes room looking for the big hit. Middle stump plucked out of the ground, and Capitals are set to pluck the points, too
clubbed down the ground, Kuggeleijn can't hold on! Very tough chance running in from long-off, but he should have held it once he got both hands to the ball
back of a length, 139kph and whizzing through over off stump as Bravo swings blindly and misses
Stone to close out, 25 to requirement
banged in short, beats everyone! Billings couldn't reel it in above his head, four byes to the MIE cause
slower ball, slapped out to deep point
Kuggeleijn heads back to his mark glowering
plopped into the night sky, dropped again! This was a much harder chance for Shanaka, running back from point. He might have been put off by Haider coming in, got both hands to this one... but it squirmed out
hard length, Viyaskanth heaves at the ball unsuccessfully once again
shovelled away into the leg side
skied towards backward point, but Shanaka makes a hash of it! Misses the hands completely as he positions himself under the ball. Luckily it probably won't matter
Kuggeleijn is back
Excellent from Stone, just four conceded from the over
length ball angling in and flicked to fine leg
short ball, heading a touch leg side, Viyaskanth pulls and misses. Billings appeals for caught behind but might just have been trying to ensure against a wide being given
dug in, 138kph and it flies through over the stumps
length ball veering down leg, wide called
banged in, climbing through outside off as Viyaskanth heaves to leg and misses
pitched up wide of the stumps, 137kph and Bravo lashes a drive to deep point
short of a length outside off, 130kph and sliced through backward point
The MIE equation up past 12 an over now. Stone is back to bowl at the No.9 Viyaskanth
Raza finishes with 1 for 23, Capitals closing in on the two points
tossed up and whipped away leg side for one more
