The finale kept swinging from one way to the other. The Capitals lost David Warner, Gulbadin Naib and Sam Billings in the powerplay as they were in a hole. However, opener <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.indiatvnews.com\/topic\/shai-hope\" rel=\"noopener\">Shai Hope<\/a> and\u00a0Rovman Powell kept the team going. They stabilised the ship as the Capitals stayed alive in the game, but the wicket of Hope for 43 brought a twist.<\/p>\n<p>Powell kept going from one end and found associations with\u00a0<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.indiatvnews.com\/topic\/dasun-shanaka\" rel=\"noopener\">Dasun Shanaka<\/a> (21) and\u00a0Sikandar Raza. Powell kept the Capitals in the hunt with his strong 30-ball half-century. The Capitals needed 65 off the final five overs and stayed on track for the chase, however, Powell fell in the 18th over for 63 as the game took a turn again. With the backs against the walls, Raza stood tall. He slammed a 34 from 12 balls and took the Capitals home with four wickets in hand and four balls to go.<\/p>\n<p>The Vipers had hit a strong total of 189 batting first as\u00a0Max Holden put up 76 from 51 balls and captain Sam Curran made 62* from 33 deliveries. After the departure of openers Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Alex\u00a0Hales,\u00a0Holden held one end and kept the scoreboard ticking. His knock was instrumental in Vipers laying a strong platform for the others to cash in.<\/p>\n<p>Curran and <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.indiatvnews.com\/topic\/azam-khan\" rel=\"noopener\">Azam Khan<\/a> cashed in. They put up 67 for the fifth wicket. Curran was the star in the latter half. He slammed a 117-meter six off Kuggeleijn. Curran and Azam were instrumental in the Vipers reaching close to 200. However, their 189-run score proved to be a little less as the Capitals chased the total down in the final over on the back of a brilliant cameo from Raza.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async>\nfunction loadFacebookScript(){\n!function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s){if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?\nn.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;\nn.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\nt.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s)}(window,\ndocument,'script','https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\nfbq('init', '529056027274737');\nfbq('track', 'PageView');\n}\nwindow.addEventListener('load', (event) => {\n\tsetTimeout(function(){\n        loadFacebookScript();\n\t}, 5000);\n});\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.indiatvnews.com\/sports\/cricket\/dc-franchise-ends-wait-for-t20-title-as-dubai-capitals-win-ilt20-final-with-win-over-desert-vipers-2025-02-09-975481\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Image Source : DUBAI CAPITALS\/X Dubai Capitals players.
