End of over. Over 20. 12 runs. Bowler: Taskin Ahmed. Dubai Capitals: 180/6(rr 9.00)

Two runs. APPEAL! Taskin Ahmed to David Willey. Back of a length, down leg side on the back foot pulling, in the air under control to deep mid wicket for 2 runs, fielded by D'Souza, by Rew, appeal made for Run Out. That brings us to the end of the first innings, and the Dubai Capitals have posted a competitive total. The innings was built around a composed and well-constructed knock from Atal, who stood tall under pressure and finished as the top scorer with a fine 66, anchoring the effort through the middle overs. He was well supported by a few timely cameos that ensured the Capitals maintained momentum without ever fully losing control. From the bowling perspective, the Sharjah Warriorz can take plenty of positives. Taskin Ahmed was impressive, picking up three crucial wickets, while the spinners operated with discipline and control, applying the brakes at key moments and preventing the Capitals from accelerating freely.
