Overview
- Dubai Capitals chased 135 to win with five balls to spare, securing a six-wicket victory that confirmed their place in the ILT20 play-offs.
- Shayan Jahangir struck 51 off 39 balls and shared a 76-run stand off 63 deliveries with Jordan Cox to steady the pursuit after an early wicket.
- Cox finished 61 not out off 50, cracking four consecutive fours off Tim Southee in the penultimate over before Rovman Powell cleared the rope to end the chase.
- Sharjah Warriorz managed 134/8 as Johnson Charles top-scored with 43, Tim Southee captained, and Dubai’s attack featured double strikes from Haider Ali and Waqar Salamkheil.
- Sharjah remain mathematically alive but must beat Desert Vipers on December 26 by a sizable margin and then hope the Gulf Giants–Abu Dhabi Knight Riders result on December 28 works in their favor on net run rate.
