DC vs DV Live Score: Dubai Capitals have won ILT20, Sikandar Raza blitz delivers a four-wicket win
It ended in a flash, when it looked to be going down the wire for a last-ball finish. But Sikandar Raza came in like a storm and hit 34 runs off just 12 balls, including 5 fours and a six, to make Dubai Capitals (191/6) the champions with four balls to spare.
What an incredible way to finish the tournament! And if there's one man who needs an arm around him, it's the Vipers' wicketkeeper Azam Khan, who gave a reprieve to Powell when he was batting on 2, stumping him with his gloves slightly in front of the stumps when he collected the ball to remove the bails. It was ruled a no-ball and Powell went on to add 61 runs more. It definitely was the game-changing moment of the match.
