11:40pm That will be all from us for tonight. If you are in the mood for more cricket, the SA20 game between MI Cape Town and Joburg Super Kings was bubbling beautifully, until being halted by rain. Join Abhimanyu for all the updates from that riveting contest. Until next time, this is goodbye from Chandan and myself. Take care!

Gulbadin Naib, Player of the Match: (On his celebration) It is a big league, big platform, so it is not easy. I enjoy myself when I bowl and get wickets. The total on the board was not good. We targeted 150. But the way we started, Stone gave us the start. Nicholas and Akeal put together a good partnership and we were just waiting for the moment and for a mistake. That is the beauty of cricket and T20. Not a good total on the board, but we defended it, with the guys giving 100%. It (the pitch) was helping the bowlers a lot. Not easy for the batters. We just tried to keep it stump to stump, and we did it.

Sikandar Raza, Dubai Capitals captain: (On how they held their nerve towards the end) Certainly not me, but the rest of the team did a fantastic job. Tried to stay calm, back my teammates, was thinking about who would give me the best chance (to take wickets and win) and whoever came in, did their job. The first thing I said is this was not a 180 wicket. 150 would have given us a chance, and this score, we would have to show a lot of courage and character. My only message was that it could have been 110 all out as well, but if we show our nerves, stick to four-day Test match bowling, there was enough (in the pitch). When there is a low total on the board, teams want to finish it off quickly. Everyone who bowled in the powerplay and outside…it was about who panics first and glad everyone held their nerve. (On Farhan bowling the last over) I was contemplating. They were only five or six down, so I wanted to trust my senior guys first. Only needed a couple of dots. Knew that if we held our lines and lengths, we had a chance. He held his nerve against Polly and cannot be prouder of him, we will all celebrate him today. I don't think we were at our best today (but still got a result). A win like that goes a long way. When we come up against any team, and the chips are down, this win will give us belief and confidence (that we can win from any situation).

Nicholas Pooran, MI Emirates captain: Wonderful night, brilliant game and start to the tournament. Unlucky there at the end (to not win). Felt like the bowlers did an incredible job. The fast bowlers and the spinners as well. Farooqi continues to show his class. The wicket comes with its challenges, we have to find ways to get in. He (Farooqi) has been doing it for a while now - looking forward to more performances (like that). Akeal played a really good role for us today, finding a way to get a partnership. Unfortunately, we could not get over the line at the end and we have to hold ourselves accountable. Tough to lose a game like that.

Anubhab Mukherj: "What a rollercoaster 24 hours to be a Capitals fan!!!. After Pretoria snatched defeat from the jaws of victory yesterday, Dubai does just the opposite to make it up to us fans. Fantastic win."

11:16pm Phew. What a game. MI Emirates had it after the first innings, and then the Capitals had it when they reduced the defending champions to 23-4. Pooran, though, resurrected the innings alongside Hosein, and when 14 runs were needed, he was still at the crease, with 16 balls in the bank. But a rush of blood followed and in trying to finish off in style, he picked out long on and that set in motion a monumental slow-down.

Pollard could not get it off the square until the last over, and the Capitals, largely due to Naib's efforts, slowly but surely, hauled themselves back. Farhan then held his nerve in the final over and ensured the Capitals' spotless league record against MI Emirates remained intact. A special mention to Stone as well, whose new-ball exploits gave the Capitals belief, and he complemented that with a one-run penultimate over which, ultimately, gave Farhan enough to defend.

Six needed off the last ball. What does Pollard have up his sleeve? What trick does the youngster come up with? It has all come down to this

8 off 2. The youngster has showed exemplary temperament so far. Can he close it out?

12 off 4. Pollard feeling the pinch

13 off the last over. All eyes on Pollard. All eyes also on Farhan, who has picked up a wicket already but also dropped Pooran, which at that point, seemed the turning point. Is a redemption the cards?

13 off 7. Ghazanfar has to play in even numbers this ball

13 off 8. Surely Ghazanfar has to continue swinging now?

Stone to bowl the 19th. Pollard on strike. 14 off 12

Ghazanfar the latest to try his luck with the bat

Joseph is the new man in

Less than run-a-ball now. 14 off 16

19 off 18. A wicket here will make things really interesting, especially if that wicket is of Pooran. Can Naib provide that breakthrough?
