Pitch Report:Saba Karim assesses the surface. Mentions that the wicket looks a bit dry. Adds that when the ball gets older, it becomes a bit difficult to score. Feels that the side batting first would need to get a score around 180.
[b]David Warner: [/b You got to stick to the basics, assess the conditions. There’s one side big and one side is small so you need to consider that.
Tom Kohler-Cadmore: We are gonna have a bowl. Conditions sometimes change, so we will see if there is something early for the bowlers. It is about executing better with bat and ball.
Sharjah Warriors have won the toss and have opted to field
17:35 Local Time, 13:35 GMT, 19:05 IST: Hello and a warm welcome to our live coverage of Match 5 of Season 2 of the ILT20. It will be Dubai Capitals squaring off against Sharjah Warriors in Dubai. The Warriors lost their opening match against the defending champions, Gulf Giants. They leaked too many runs with the ball and then their batters crumbled in the run-chase. A well-rounded performance is the need of the hour for them. The Capitals, on the other end, have started their campaign on a winning note by defeating MI Emirates. Their bowlers were able to control the run-flow while their battters was impressive in the run-chase. Their skipper, Warner, failed to make a mark though and he would be eager to play a blazing knock. Will the Capitals keep their momentum intact with another win? Or will the Warriors get off the mark with a solid performance? Stick around as toss and team lineups will be announced shortly...
