That's it from our coverage of this game. MI Emirates will play the Gulf Giants in Qualifier 2 at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium on 10th February as the teams will battle it out to get a place in the final. The game will start at 7.30 PM IST (2:00 PM GMT). As always, U can join us early for the built-up. Until then, take care and goodbye!
Nicholas Pooran is the Player of the Match for his knock of 66* off 36 balls.
In reply, they lost Muhammad Waseem early but Lorcan Tucker and Andre Fletcher steadied the ship. Lorcan Tucker fell but Andre Fletcher along with Nicholas Pooran forged a match-winning stand. Both scored half-tons and sealed the deal for MI Emirates. A thumping win for them.
Quite an easy chase in the end and that is the end of the tournament for the Dubai Capitals! Whereas MI Emirates will be facing Gulf Giants to decide which team will be playing in the finals. A well-deserved win, they were better in all three departments. First, after electing to bowl, they restricted Dubai to an average total.
