Against MI Emirates, Dubai Capitals were chasing a target of 188, and Shai Hope opened the innings. Other batters were not up to the mark, but Hope stood out, keeping his team in the game with a stunning knock of 101 off 59 balls, including 11 fours and 3 sixes at a strike rate of 171.19.
He was dismissed in the 16th over despite his best efforts, and Dubai Capitals eventually lost the match, failing to reach the target.
Although he remained unsold in the IPL 2025 auction, his PSL team, Multan Sultans, who picked him in the draft, would surely be proud of this performance.
