That's all from us at ESPNcricinfo tonight. See you tomorrow for more franchise cricket!
Erasmus of Namibia is the Player of the Match: I played a fair amount of cricket at the back end of last year. Enjoyed that innings.
Winning captain Vince: Not a great start losing the first few but today we got some confidence. Tricky chase but they had a good understanding. I thought we did a decent effort keeping it to 165. Gerhard's six and four and then Shimron's big hits calmed the nerves."
Losing captain Raza: When we batted, I thought it would be a good game for them to get this total. I thought today was more of a Sharjah wicket, sticky and skiddy. Taking some catches would've made things easier for us. Drops are not for lack of effort. Sometimes maybe we doze off here and there. (Vipers next) Beauty of league is anyone can beat anyone. If you want to turn the season around, it's a good way to win."
9.31pm Erasmus and Hetmyer have helped the Giants cruise to victory and their first win of the season could well and truly be what they need to turn their season around. For the Capitals, it's a third-straight loss and they will need some morale-lifting before Warner and Fraser-McGurk arrive. GG have climbed to fourth with just one win. Capitals at rock bottom. See you shortly for the presentation.
