Meanwhile, all-rounder Jason Holder and left-arm Ajay Kumar have been their mainstay with the ball in hand. Holder has managed to pick up 12 wickets in eight matches along with crucial late-order contributions with the bat, while Ajay Kumar's ability to move the new ball has earned him 15 wickets in the tournament.
Among all the firepower in their ranks, Andre Russell's role in their team has been the most important one. He has claimed 10 wickets so far in the tournament, along with chipping in impact runs with the bat at a strike rate of over 160.
Dubai Capitals Preview
Dubai Capitals missed their spot in the Qualifiers due to two losses against the MI Emirates in the group stage; however, they remain one of the top teams of the tournament with adequate firepower in their arsenal.
Jordan Cox has been their standout batter of the tournament, amassing 311 runs so far, and has been well complemented by the American wicket-keeper batter Shayan Jahangir, who has also surpassed the 300-run mark this season.
On the bowling front, they have the leading wicket-taker, Waqar Salamkheil, in their team, who has accounted for 17 batters in the group stage and has the knack of striking in key moments of the game.
