Shares experienced players help a lot to lead from the front.
Dubai Capitals were just under par throughout. They bowled badly at first and then the batting needed someone to play a special knock but it just did not come. They were outplayed by a way better side. MI Emirates though dropped numerous catches but went away as Dubai Capitals didn't make the most of the opportunity given. Finals pressure was just too big on them. Few of MI Emirates players are up for some words....
A very one sided final and it is MI Emirates who will be crowned the champions. To be honest the batters sealed the deal with a massive score. Then their bowlers were excellent. Trent Boult, Akeal Hosein and Vijayakanth Viyaskanth were exceptional. They just never let the Dubai Capitals batters get in a flow and in the end it’s a thumping win.
