Gulbadin Naib | Player of the Match:
Sikandar Raza: We never doubted ourselves. Last year we made it to the finals after losing three in a row and then winning four in a row. Really happy with our effort today, we were good in the field and with the ball. We thought the wicket was a lot tackier and greener. Thought there's a bit of moisture, as long as the ball stayed new, it would grip and turn. After the 15th over, we realised the turn was starting to go away and it got flatter. We felt Gulbadin is in good form, so many good power hitters in the team, we've tried to shuffle the order to try and utilise everyone's form. Want to players in good form to face majority of the balls. Felt we caught very well today.
Lockie Ferguson: Tough one. Probably a few runs short. The way we started with the ball, we had some chances but they didn't go to hand. I think they bowled well, it spun, probably could've taken it a little bit deeper. Quick turnaround, the boys have been playing well, back them to come good.
21:52 Local Time, 17:52 GMT, 23:22 IST: A fantastic day out in the office for the Capitals. They get a win they needed quite badly.
