Yesterday evening, Dubai Capitals pipped Desert Vipers by four wickets to emerge victorious in the ILT20 final at Dubai International Cricket Stadium. Batting first, the Vipers posted a competitive total of 189. However, the target wasn't enough for the spirited Capitals, who executed a successful run-chase in 19.2 overs. 

Sikandar Raza was the star of the night for Dubai Capitals, scoring 34 runs off just 12 deliveries. The Zimbabwean all-rounder took a particular liking for ace Pakistani speedster Mohammad Amir, hammering him for three boundaries in a single over. 

The incident occurred during the 19th over of the Capitals' innings when they needed 24 runs off the final two overs. As soon as Amir came back into the attack, Raza instantly struck a boundary to put him under pressure. 

Although Mohammad Amir went defensive and bowled a wide yorker, Raza managed to guide it past Azam Khan, who failed to catch the ball behind the stumps. As the ball breached the third-man fence for another boundary, Amir expressed his frustration by scolding Azam for lacking agility behind the stumps.

Raza scored two runs off Amir's next delivery before hitting another gorgeous boundary through the covers. His sensational batting helped the Capitals collect 15 runs off the 19th over. They scored the remaining runs in the next two balls, with Raza hitting the winning boundary. Thus, the home side registered a clinical four-wicket win over the Vipers, claiming its maiden ILT20 title.
