The Dubai Capitals defeated the Abu Dhabi Knight Riders by 7 wickets at the Zayed Cricket Ground in Abu Dhabi.
George Munsey, the first batter for the Dubai Capitals, said on their triumph: “We anticipated that the pitch would improve for batting when the dew started to fall, but the ball didn’t skid as much as usual. We did a tremendous job with our bowling to hold them to 149.”
George Munsey played brilliant innings of 57 runs from 43 balls against Abu Dhabi Knight Riders. When asked about his knock, the batter said, “I am really happy to contribute to a win. It was good to be out there. The guys have been working hard. The guys, who have not been playing, have been training well in the nets.”
The Dubai Capitals have to win their remaining two league games against Desert Vipers and MI Emirates to give themselves a good chance to qualify for the playoffs. They are currently in fifth place with seven points from eight games. George Munsey said that the team will look to keep things simple, “We need to win every game. It’s just as simple as that. We’ve got to be positive. The net run rate will be a factor as well. We are going to take each game as it comes and keep things simple. You can’t look too far ahead in the must-win games.”
The opening batter added that the Dubai Capitals are looking forward to the challenges ahead of them, “We have to try and find ways to get over the line. We’ve got good players and we are looking forward to the challenge. We will just trust our processes and bring our strengths to the table.”
The Dubai Capitals will be up against Desert Vipers at the Dubai International Stadium on Thursday.
