Dubai inch closer to Qualifier

Abu Dhabi,
The Dubai Capitals pulled off an impressive 19-run victory against the MI Emirates at the Zayed Cricket Stadium to register their fifth victory of the competition at the ongoing ILT20 season 2. With this result, the Desert Vipers are no longer in the race for a position in the play-offs while the Dubai Capitals put themselves in a very good position to join the MI Emirates, Gulf Giants and Abu Dhabi Knight Riders.
