Dubai Capitals vs Abu Dhabi Knight Riders, Eliminator

Mohammad Nabi 3-25(4 ov)
All
18
Nabi to McMullen, 1 run, on the leg stump, McMullen works it to mid-wicket
17.5
Nabi to McMullen, no run, flatter delivery that grips and turns with bounce, McMullen surprised by the turn and missed the defence. He played well outside the line of off stump. Impact in line with middle but jumping over the sticks. Nabi wasted no time to review but Neesham in the team chat was telling him about height, to which Nabi seems to have told him about chancing a review since only two overs are left after this. Both share a laugh in the end

Nabi to Livingstone, out Caught by Willey!! Slog-sweep, mishit and Mo Nabi is turning it on big time for his side. Slower through the air and angling away, Livingstone early into position for the slog sweep, so he got this on the outer half of the bat to fly high. Deep mid-wicket runs in to take a good catch. 6 wickets for the last 20 runs now. Livingstone c Willey b Nabi 4(6)
17.3
Nabi to Livingstone, no run, oh absolutely smashed and the man at cover risked his hands to stop that. Livingstone has a smile on his face
17.2
Nabi to Holder, 1 run, driven to cover
17.1
6
Nabi to Holder, SIX, the highest wicket-taker in T20s last year needs to do something special with the bat to bail his team out of this hole. Flighted delivery on the stumps, Holder waits and smashes it high over mid-wicket for handsome hit
16
Nabi to Hales, 1 run, shortish delivery, Hales slaps it off the back foot to deep point

Nabi to Alishan Sharafu, out Stumped!! Make that 4 wickets for the last 5 runs. Crazy batting from the Knight Riders and this could cost them the game. Seemed like they got a bit overconfident with the start and came out playing rash shots. Flighted delivery from Nabi, Alishan Sharafu stepped out and missed the slog, the keeper collected and checked the bails off. Sharafu felt he had grounded his bat. He was correct but the problem was he didn't ground it inside the crease. Alishan Sharafu st Shayan Jahangir b Nabi 2(3)

Nabi to Russell, no run, Dre Russ is gone. But they want to check if it's clean. Fingers are under the ball was the initial feeling from the third ump, but on the second look the ump felt a part of the ball was on the ground and said not out. David Willey, the one who took the catch isn't happy and expresses his displeasure to the onfield ump. Coach Hemang Badani on the sidelines isn't pleased as well. Full delivery on the stumps, Russell goes hard on the slog-sweep, hits it flat. Willey moves forward, gets both hands on it, but while trying to pick the ball up his hands opened up a bit and he had to clutch it with the fingertips, which gave the impression it hit the ground. Another one of those things that is never going to conclusive on cameras
13.5
Nabi to Michael Pepper, 1 run, oh chips this high but it doesn't carry to long-on
13.4
Nabi to Russell, 1 run, shortish delivery on the leg stump, Russell flicks to deep square leg
13.3
W
Nabi to Phil Salt, out Caught by (sub)Scott Currie!! He's taken this time. Flighted delivery on the stumps, Salt advances to slog, mistimes the loft and the big boundary meant this came straight to Currie at deep mid-wicket. Salt jobs off the field after a great hand. Struggled with a back issue, but ensured he held one end. Phil Salt c (sub)Scott Currie b Nabi 43(34) [4s-3 6s-1]

1
Nabi to Michael Pepper, 3 wides, oh that's fired down the leg-side and Nabi isn't happy with himself, great diving effort from Waqar to save two runs with a dive. Bit of an awkward dive as his knee almost got plugged in the outfield
