That’s a wrap from our side as well. Thank you for joining us from all around the globe. This is Prince Suman signing off on behalf of my co-commentator Wali Siddiqui and Scorer / Analyst Yogesh Kumar Thakur. Do join us for the other fixtures across the globe. Until then, Ta-Ta, Bye-Bye.
Kieron Pollard( MI Emirates Captain): "I'm glad I won the toss; you never know what the Sharjah pitch will throw up. We bowled well, they had 20 or so after the powerplay, and the bowlers deserve credit for that. We can be cleaner on the fields, but we must return 24 hours later to improve. It's a joy to watch Pooran and Fletcher interact. Fletch wasn't getting enough runs, but he's very energetic, so we had to back him up, and Pooran's experience was enough to win the game. Rashid, I believe, did enough, hopefully, we'll see him outside Dubai Stadium tomorrow and pick him up again."
Nicholas Pooran( Man of the Match): "I knew I had to finish the job tonight. As the third batter, this is my role. I've been batting well in this tournament because of my ability and talent. It was just one of those nights where I was hitting it well right away. I am confident that we must return tomorrow and perform as professionals. The bowlers deserve credit for keeping them under 160 on this surface."
Yusuf Pathan (Captain of Dubai Capitals): “Obviously we didn't get enough and failed to show intent during our batting. The nature of the wicket was unpredictable. We as a team failed to predict that. We didn’t show intent in our batting and MI did well in their powerplay so the credit goes to them. The way that they went on with the partnership (Pooran & Fletcher) they deserved to win. We need to improve and think more as a team.”
11:03 PM IST | Prince: A comprehensive win for MI Emirates as thumped Dubai Capitals by 8 wickets. A swashbuckling inning by Nicholas Pooran unbeaten 65 runs off 36 balls And a sensible inning by Andre Fletcher unbeaten 68 runs off 45 helped MI Emirates to qualify for the next round and the Dubai Capitals are no longer in the league.
Earlier, after being invited to bat first, Dubai Capitals posted an average score of 151 runs for a loss of 5 wickets in 20 overs against the strong bowling attack of MI Emirates. George Munsey was the top contributor for Dubai Capitals, as he scored 51 runs off 43 balls with the help of 1 six and 6 boundaries, while Sikandar Raza scored 38 runs in 34 balls. On the flip side, Trent Boult and Rashid Khan were the picks of the bowler as both extracted 2 wickets each, while DJ Bravo extracted a solitary wicket.
In pursuit of the Dubai Capitals’ average score of 151 runs total, MI Emirates got off to a decent start as they scored 41 runs for loss of 1 wicket. Muhammad Waseem and Andre Fletcher opened for MI Emirates. They lost their first wicket in the 3rd ball of the first overs of the 2nd inning, Lorcan Tucker came to bat next but was unable to settle in the crease and send back to the pavilion soon. After that Nicholas Pooran alongside Andre fletcher took charge and didn't give any chance to the opposition to settle and finished the line of the victory in just 16.4 overs. Muhammad Waseem (2 runs off 3 balls) failed to impress with the bat today and he was the batter too who departed in the powerplay. Andre Fletcher was the top run-scorer for his team, scoring 68* runs off 45 balls, while Nicholas Pooran scored 66* runs off 36 balls. On the flip side, Jake Ball and Dasun Shanaka extracted a solitary wicket each.
A comprehensive win for MI Emirates and they will look to carry the momentum in the next round. On the other side, Dubai Capitals need to regroup and come back stronger in the next session.
