Azam Khan also played an effective innings, scoring 27 off 13. But, that didn’t prove to be a sufficient total as Capitals smoothly chased it down.
During their chase, Dubai Capitals, had a good start following a 43-run knock from Shai Hope, but experienced campaigners David Warner and Gulbadin Naib failed to score, falling for (4) and (5) respectively.
