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. Nonetheless, Rovman Powell revived Dubai Capitals with his much-needed (63). Dasun Shanaka also played an impactful innings, beating 21 off 10. Meanwhile, Raza remained unbeaten to take the side to their maiden title victory.
