 Pollard congratulated me for my innings against MI Emirates,' says Dubai Capitals' Captain Rovman Powell

The Dubai Capitals roared back to form with a 16-run victory over MI Emirates at the Zayed Cricket Stadium in Abu Dhabi on Sunday. The Dubai Capitals skipper Rovman Powell led from the front with magnificent innings of 97 runs off 41 runs to help his side post a mammoth total of 222/3. Thereafter, the Dubai Capitals bowlers restricted the MI Emirates to 206/5 in their 20 overs.

Speaking about their performance, Powell said, "I am very elated for the guys. Three defeats on the trot weren't good and I asked the guys to improve in all three departments of the game and they did that against MI Emirates."

The skipper is currently the joint-highest six-hitter with 17 sixes in the tournament. When asked about the same, the aggressive batter said, "I feel very good about being one of the leading six hitters in the tournament. It was good to get some runs and get some sixes under my belt."

Powell also spoke about the conversation he had with MI Emirates' Captain Kieron Pollard after his splendid innings, "Pollard is always in my ear. He was just congratulating me and telling me that I played a fantastic inning."

Meanwhile, all-rounder Ravi Bopara has urged the Dubai Capitals fans to travel to the stadium to show their support for the team ahead of its match against Sharjah Warriors, "It'll be great to have your support at the stadium. We've just hit some form. We amassed the highest total in the competition in our last game. We've got big six hitters in our team and it's going to be a lot of fun. So please come down to the stadium to support us and help us win."

The Dubai Capitals will be up against the Sharjah Warriors at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium on Thursday.
