Over 20. 5 runs. Bowler: Zahoor Khan. Dubai Capitals: 122/8(rr 6.10)

Zahoor Khan to Mohammad Nabi. Slower ball full toss, outside off stump on the back foot Slog, mis-timed to deep mid wicket for 1 run, fielded by Krishnamurthi. That brings us to the end of the first innings, and it's been a superb bowling performance from MI Emirates. They've completely stifled Dubai Capitals, restricting them to just 122. The spinners were the real architects of this effort, weaving a web around the batters and never allowing them to settle. AM Ghazanfar led the charge brilliantly, picking up three crucial wickets. On paper, this looks like a comfortable chase-but T20 cricket is never that simple. Could there be a twist in the tale? Join us in a few minutes to find out.

FOUR! Muhammad Jawadullah to Tom Banton. Length ball, down leg side on the back foot driving, well timed past deep extra cover for 4 runs. That's it-an absolute cakewalk for MI Emirates as they cruise to victory by eight wickets, with 20 balls to spare. Muhammad Waseem provided the perfect acceleration at the top of the order, setting the tone for the chase. The Capitals' spinners did attempt to claw back some momentum, but the target was always within reach. Kieron Pollard anchored the innings initially before unleashing a devastating assault, smashing 30 runs in a single over to put the result beyond doubt. He was well supported by Tom Banton, who chipped in with a handy 28. With this emphatic win, MI Emirates seal their place in Qualifier 1, where they will take on the Desert Vipers.
