Dubai,
Speaking at the pre-match press conference ahead of the ILT20 final, Dubai Capitals’ star opener David Warner shared his team’s determination to clinch the trophy after their impressive run in the tournament, including three victories against their finals opponents, the Desert Vipers whom they are slated to face in the finals again.
David Warner, who has been instrumental in the Capitals’ journey to the final, reflected on the team’s collective excitement and ambition; “Everyone’s excited from the background staff to the GMR owners and the players performing on field. We got so close last year, and hopefully this year we can lift the trophy.”
Addressing the team’s previous victories against Desert Vipers, Warner remained cautious; “When you’ve beaten them a couple of times, that’s the scary part. Sometimes that momentum can break. Hopefully, that doesn’t happen, and we can continue our form.”
The Australian veteran also praised Afghan all-rounder Gulbadin Naib’s contributions to the team’s success: “Gulbadin has grown from strength to strength. He’s adapted well to these wickets, which are a bit slow and low. He’s a big player for us, and hopefully, with one more game to go, we can lift that trophy.”
