In pursuit of a target of 172 runs in the 27th match of the lucrative league, the Dubai Capitals started with promise, hitting four boundaries off the first nine deliveries in the second innings.
However, their momentum was short-lived as Sam Curran intervened, courtesy of an exceptional catch from Adam Hose in the second over.
On the fourth ball of the second over, Curran delivered a good length ball around the fourth stump with minimal seam movement.
Max Holden attempted to create space and drive it over the cover region but was foiled by an outstanding catch from Hose, positioned slightly wider from short cover.
The Worcestershire-based cricketer adjusted his position, taking a couple of steps to his left to time a leap and secure the ball with his right hand.

Hose’s stretched-out effort made it appear as if the ball had adhered to his palm, resembling a hawk snatching its prey. However, in his athletic move, the Englishman ended up straining his groin, drawing admiration from the Twitterverse for his acrobatic skills.
