Match 4 of the ILT20 2025 was full of action at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium, where Dubai Capitals faced MI Emirates in a reverse fixture of the opening game. After winning the toss, Dubai Capitals chose to bowl first. MI Emirates, led by Nicholas Pooran, posted a challenging 187/7 in 20 overs.
Tom Banton anchored the innings with 74 runs off 52 balls, while Pooran smashed a quick-fire 59 off just 29 deliveries.
One of the most dramatic moments of the match came during the 15th over of MI Emirates’ innings, bowled by Dubai Capitals pacer Olly Stone. Pooran, who was in top form, hit Stone for three back-to-back sixes, displaying his power and creativity at the crease.
Nicholas Pooran’s Hat-trick of Sixes
The 15th over began with Pooran greeting Stone with a stunning scoop shot for six over short fine leg on a full delivery. On the very next ball, he repeated the scoop shot with incredible precision, sending another full-length delivery over short fine leg for six. Stone, under pressure, bowled a back-of-length delivery on the third ball, but Pooran managed to pull it with a top edge that flew over third man for his third consecutive six.
Olly Stone Strikes Back
Just when it looked like Pooran would dominate the over completely, cricket’s unpredictable nature came into play. On the fourth ball, Stone delivered a knee-high full toss, which seemed like an easy boundary opportunity. However, Pooran mistimed his slog, and the ball went straight to the fielder at deep mid-wicket, ending his explosive innings.
