MI Emirates stunned the Dubai Capitals with a seven-run victory at the Dubai International Stadium, defending a modest 137/8 in the DP World ILT20 Season 4.
Jonny Bairstow’s fluent 67 anchored the innings before Mustafizur Rahman and Muhammad Jawadullah triggered a late collapse. Chasing 138, the Capitals were well placed through Shayan Jahangir and Jordan Cox, but Rashid Khan turned the game with two crucial wickets. Naveen-ul-Haq then struck in the death overs as Dubai were bowled out for 130. The win lifted MI Emirates to six points and third place.
