Dubai: Dubai Capitals 177-4, Sharjah Warriors 182-3 - Sharjah Warriors won by seven wickets
Sharjah Warriors cruised to a seven-wicket victory over Dubai Capitals thanks to an unbeaten century from Tom Kohler-Cadmore.
The Somerset batter scored 106 runs from 47 balls to help his side chase down 178 with 32 balls to spare, overshadowing Joe Root's half-century for the Capitals.
Batting first in Dubai, Root scored 80 runs from 54 deliveries, including eight fours and one six, to help his side close on 177 for 4.

After losing partners Robin Uthappa and Chirag Suri inside three overs, he put on 82 runs with Dan Lawrence (34 off 28) for the third wicket before adding a further 74 runs (45 balls) with Rovman Powell (44 off 27).
Powell was removed with the penultimate ball of the innings, leaving Yusuf Pathan to send the Capitals into the break on a high with a six off his only ball of the match.
In reply, Kohler-Cadmore and Rahmanullah Gurbaz immediately put their side on the front foot, sharing a 47-run opening stand off 3.3 overs before the latter was removed for a smash and grab 18.
Unfortunately for the Capitals, Gurbaz's departure did nothing to stem the flow of runs. Kohler-Cadmore dominated his partnerships with Dawid Malan, with whom he scored 48 runs off 16 deliveries for the second wicket, and Moeen Ali before seeing his side home in the company of Joe Denly.
Together, they produced a match-winning partnership of 59 off 34 deliveries. Kohler-Cadmore brought up his century off 46 balls in the 15th over, finishing not out on 106, while Denly chipped in with 29 runs off 17 balls.
All six of Dubai Capitals' bowlers leaked runs, but it was a particularly rough day for Mujeeb Ur Rahman, whose two overs cost 44 runs.
