1.3 Holes out to cover! Back of a length delivery with steep bounce in the channel, tries to chip him and over the man in the ring but hasn't found the timing he was looking for, a dolly for Shanaka who calmly pouches it. 11/1

10.4 Slows up the pace, flighted fuller on middle, tries to go for slog sweep but gets a big top edge and Haider Ali gobbles it up gleefully swooping to his left. The rebuilding work has been dented, partnership was looking good 68/5

2.3 Kuggeleijn made the ground quickly and took a spellbinding catch at square leg! Capitals snare the big fish as he couldn't execute the pull shot properly, it got big on him. Disastrous start from Giants! 12/2

2.4 Wrecked the stumps! Pitched on a hard length and jagged back sharply to disturb the middle stump! That's a cracking delivery, no breathing space for JM Cox who tried to get behind the line but got beaten by the late inward movement. That is incision from Olly Stone! Marvelous start from the Englishman. He is hattrick! 12/3

3.4 Soft dismissal! Chaos all the way! Pitched up and looks like a slightly slower delivery that veered in a touch, he mistimes a drive to Richardson who charged in and pockets the catch low down at mid-off. Giants in complete disarray here! mayhem broke out in the powerplay, they need a partnership, forget about the run-rate at this stage. Quality fast bowling from Capitals! 17/4

15.2 Big wicket! Round the wicket, length ball angling in from outside off, goes big down the ground, lots of power behind the shot and hasn't hit it as straight as he wanted to, Kuggeleijn takes the simplest of the catches at long-on and Hetmyer admonishes himself for that shot. Third wicket for Olly Stone, he has been on fire tonight 92/7

14.6 Pace off and back of a length outside off, pulled away across the line to long-on and will keep the strike which is not what Gulf Giants would have wanted as Hetmyer will be off-strike, oh but hang-on, he has been retired out and in comes Overton 91/6

18.1 Stone hurling stones at Giants, clattered the stumps with a peach! Slow length ball that jagged back a touch and beat his lusty swing to the leg side, bails are off, beauty from Stone and what a rocking start to ILT20! 110/9

17.2 Slow length ball slammed into the pitch with width on offer, early through the full-blooded pull and Akif takes a gem running back at fine leg, swooped like a falling start to take the catch, tough one but he caught it brilliantly. Smart bowling at death 100/8

3.5 Gone! Slow ball on a length just outside off, he springs down the track, takes the bait, using his bat like a swinging door and this time he got the toe-end of it and Jordan takes another cool catch at long-on right under his throat. A premediated hoick down the leg side and didn't pick the slower one. Not very smart on this occasion 30/2

2.5 Spoons it straight to Chris Jordan at mid-off! Pitched up delivery and he leans forward not really allowing the ball to come at him, it was a cunning slow off-cutter and he fell in the trap, Overton is pumped up and gets his revenge after getting bludgeoned for a six! 15/1

10.5 Ben Dunk looks in trouble! He is not even waiting for the third umpire's decision, direct hit at the keeper's end brings his demise. James Vince with a rocket throw from cover and Giants get a massive breakthrough, just when these two started to steer the chip, Giants have roared back with another wicket courtesy of a brilliant piece of fielding from their captain. It's getting tighter now! 72/5

5.2 Tremendous riposte! Stumps shattered, what a sight for the bowler, short of a length delivery that jagged back and beat his swing down the ground and hit middle, smooth celebration and Giants have opened a window to sneak back in the game, one more wicket will make it really interesting, sit tight. Loose shot from Billings, not very judicious, needless 44/3

6.5 Zingers are alight! That is sensational, exactly what the situation demanded from Gulf Giants! Erasmus produces a pearler that gripped and spun just enough to beat his outside edge, he drew him forward to block and he played down the wrong line. Magnificent bowling! 53/4

11.1 Castled! Makes a absolute mess of his stumps, strangled by the slowness of the delivery, plenty of flight and revs on the ball, gets it to drift away from middle and he gets flummoxed by the beguile and trickery of thing youngster brimming with talent, he got stuck with the bat but starts off with a cracking delivery much like in the last game where he put Giants at the driving seat, lovely celebration, arms aloft and the balance of power has clearly shifted now! 72/6

12.5 Oh, no! What is going on out there? Dangles a lovely wrong'un on middle, tapped down to James Vince at mid-off and this is a massive mix-up in the middle, pressure getting better of Capitals! Both batters at the non-striker's end, tried to pinch a run and Kuggeleijn has to take the long walk back to the pavilion, they are making a mess of this chase, it was not an imposing total by any means but now it seems a gigantic one! Single wasn't on and he didn't even look at Shanaka who didn't leave the crease, poor communication! 75/7

14.2 Through the gate from over the wicket and bails are alight! Quicker delivery on a length that drifts back just enough to beat his forward prod and Olly Stone has to go back in the hut. Zubair is over the moon as Giants cluster in joy. He is so mature than his age, I'm so impressed by these young spinners, it's refreshing to see such artistry and spin mastery from the spinners. 81/8

15.4 Miscues the skier! Charges down the track on a delivery that was tossed on a length just outside off, tries to clobber him over deep midwicket but finds Erasmus who takes a superb diving catch, Capitals continue to shoot themselves in the foot 90/9

18.3 Now is that a clean run-out? Yes, it is and it's all over for Capitals. Haider Ali was halway down the pitch as Shanaka glances this off hips to short fine, Muzarabani pinged a sharp throw to Overton who showed amazing awareness and even though he was down on the ground, still made sure to whip off the bails. Haider is well short of the crease, belated attempt to run back seemed futile. I just felt Shanaka would have taken his side over the line with some support but what a game of cricket, so many ebbs and flows, twists and turns, an exhilarating low-scoring thriller but Capitals game to lose! 107/10
