Solid performance from Dubai Capitals. Warner and Hope laid the foundation. The former batted till the end which allowed Gulbadin and Shanaka to go hammer and tongs. After posting 217, they went wicketless in the first ten overs but they didn't panic and ended up defending the total quite comfortably. They'll be locking horns against table-toppers - Desert Vipers - tomorrow and a win will take them to the second spot. Don't forget to tune in for that encounter which will be played in Sharjah. For now, goodbye...
Warner | Player of the Match: Back to I was 21 again. You got to have that positive attitude. Shai made my job easier. We got off to a positive start and put up a competitive total.
Billings: It was a proper team performance. Everyone batted around David Warner. With the bowling, I had plenty of options but they were very clear. Chameera was the pick of the bowlers. You can take a lot of confidence from a performance like that. We would have chased as well. Two quality players at the top of the order. Those two guys showed their class and assessed the conditions perfectly.
Narine: It was decent (this season). Good bunch of guys, at the end, someone has to win and someone has to lose. A must-win game, you don't want to chase 217. We ha d a decent start, tried to take it deep but we didn't finish as we wanted to. Credit to them, they bowled brilliantly. He (Russell) didn't deliver today, it's tough to hit from ball one.
