The final scoreboard read Emirates Blues 111/2 (9.5 overs) beating Dubai 110/4 (10 overs) by a solitary run.

Key Performances
Aryansh Sharma (Emirates Blues) – 57 runs off 29 balls (19 fours, 2 sixes) – the innings that decided the match.
Alishan Sharafu (Dubai) – 56 runs off 28 balls (12 fours, 3 sixes) – a brilliant effort that kept Dubai in the hunt.
Ansh Tandon (Dubai) – 37 runs off 19 balls (6 fours, 2 sixes) – provided a quick start but lacked support in the death overs.
Wahab Hassan (Dubai) – 1/12 in 1 over – economical spell that gave early pressure.
Shahid Shabbir (Emirates Blues) – 1/25 in 2 overs – a crucial wicket that broke Dubai’s momentum.
Both teams also saw contributions from their part‑time bowlers: Muhammad Qasim (Dubai) claimed 1/17 in 2 overs, while Emirates Blues relied on their frontline to restrict Dubai’s run‑chase.
Turning Points
The match swung on three pivotal moments. First, Sharma’s aggressive on‑drive in the 5th over, which turned a modest 30/0 into a commanding 70/0, shifted the pressure onto Dubai. Second, Dubai’s decision to target the slower bowler Shahid Shabbir back‑fired when he dismissed Sharafu’s partner for a cheap single, halting the momentum. Finally, the last over saw Dubai needing just two runs with two wickets in hand, but a dot ball followed by a single off the final delivery left them 1 run short, sealing Emirates Blues’ victory.
Series Implications
This win moves Emirates Blues to the top of the Emirates D10 League 2026 table, reinforcing their reputation as the tournament’s most lethal T10 side. The narrow defeat for Dubai, despite a strong batting display, highlights the fine margins in the shortest format and underscores the need for depth in the lower order.
