Theekshana shines for the Warriors against the Capitals

Maheesh Theekshana was the wrecker-in-chief on the slow pitch returning with figures of 4/20 in his four overs. Daniel Sams was the next best bowler with 3/28 in his spell.

In response, the Warriors got off to a brilliant start with openers Niroshan Dickwella (37) and Johnson Charles (43*) adding 70 runs in less than nine overs. It was a walk in the park then for the Sharjah side even as the latter remained unbeaten till the end. Joe Denly also scored 23* as they got over the line in the 14th over of the innings with nine wickets in hand.
