Rovman Powell along with Raza helped Capitals for a blazing maiden Title at the ILT20 2025. The thrilling roadmap to beat Desert Vipers bolstered with a small mistake by Azam Khan.
Dubai Capitals Marks Fourth Win Against Vipers in Season
Dubai Capitals summed up a score of 189 followed by a dramatic series of highlights listed below:
- The Vipers were on a dominant side when they strangled Capitals at 31/3 within the first five overs of the chase.
- Powell’s wicket would possibly take the score chart to 46/4 but wicketkeeper Azam Khan made a small error.
- It was a fuelling point for Powell who buckled up to hit 63 off 38 balls leading to a four-wicket win for Dubai Capitals.
- Sikandar Raza and Shai Hope also played a crucial part in helping Capitals to mark their win against Vipers.
The partnership of Sam Curran and Max Holden helped Vipers to head towards a competitive total by hammering half-centuries in the game. Azam also played his part with a decent cameo of 27 runs from 13 balls. Alhough, it didn’t help Vipers seize the win.
Powell’s Second Chance Proved a Boon to Game
While Dubai Capitals had to chase a total of 190 to win, they were already in trouble during initial three overs.
- David Warner displayed spectacular bowling by putting pressure on Amir and removing Sam Billings as well as Gulbadin Naib. Amir’s wicket was also with Vipers in a matter of few balls.
- The crucial wicket of Rowan Powell was at the hands of Nathan Sowter when he almost stumped the seasoned batter to the leg side.
- Decision was revised as the third umpire caught Azam taking his gloves near the stumps to hold off the ball. As a result, the attempt was declared a no-ball.
- Powell was at 2 runs from 6 deliveries at that moment and the second chance worked as a waking alarm for him to get into the game. He then got momentum from Vipers and crashed the balls.

Raza helped Capitals recover a crucial 38 off 19 balls by partnering Powell to hit boundaries in the 18th over. 3 fours from 4 balls took the team close to the target and Raza ended the game in a heroic style by striking four and a six in the last over.
