Abu Dhabi,
Dubai Capitals are on the ascent having conquered three matches in succession while recording the highest run chase 207-2 against the Abu Dhabi Knight Riders in DP World ILT20 history.
Aside from the brilliant partnership between the heavy hitters namely Gulbadin Naib (Player of the Match scoring 80 out of 47 balls) and Shai Hope (not out with a total score of 74 from 53 balls), Dubai Capitals have now reinforced themselves as the quickest shift on the points table while looking ahead to secure the title at the third edition of ILT20.
The most talked about moment in the match was the 135 run, second wicket partnership between Shai Hope and Gulbadin Naib that set up the run chase for the Capitals.
Dubai Capitals member Shai Hope who was the leading chaser alongside Gulbadin Naib was all happy to share progress , he shared, “I always tell the guys in the dressing room to try not to fight that white line too often. Actually, hit the ball where they want you to hit. Try to get some twos. If you hit it well enough, you get a four, maybe a six in between.”
