Ashley Nurse powers Capitals to a strong total
Giants chose to field first and reaped rewards with four quick strikes in the first seven overs, including Hamilton Masakadza and Jacques Kallis.
However, Denesh Ramdin continued his momentum to resurrect the team's innings along with Ashley Nurse. In the first half of his innings, Nurse placed it quite well to find gaps created by the opposition.
After the dismissal of Ramdin (31), Nurse showed his true colours with blistering shots all around the park, and used his feet well. The 33-year-old reached his maiden T20 hundred with a six over the deep fine-leg area.
Capitals finished on a total of 179/7 in their designated quota of 20 overs. KP Appanna, Rayad Emrit and Thisara Perera scalped two wickets each for the Giants.
