England’s Jonny Bairstow hit 67 off 40 balls to help MI Emirates beat Dubai Capitals by seven runs in the International League T20.
Emirates opener Bairstow smacked eight fours and three sixes in his vital knock, with none of his team-mates passing 20 as they posted 137-8 at the Dubai International Stadium.
Chasing 138 to win, the Capitals were well placed at 89-2 in the 13th over but lost three wickets for just six runs.
England’s Jordan Cox kept his side in the hunt but his dismissal for 46 off 41 in the 19th over ensured the Capitals fell short as they were bowled out for 130 off the final ball of the match.
Victory means Emirates move above the Capitals into third place in the six-team league.
