Nicholas Pooran (MI Emirates Captain): "Cannot ask for anything else. This is what we planned and executed the plans to perfection. I think winning this trophy means the MI franchise is the most successful team in the tournament. So, proud of the accomplishment. I think everyone had the same agenda and same thing and that helped us a lot. Yes, Bravo, Pollard were really helpful. They have been there done that. Bravo was here throughout. Polly was here in the end. Great for us. Yes, the way UAE guys stepped up. Waseem was special in the final and he contributed. Waqar has come a long way as well and we are proud of him. I have played with him in CPL as well. So, great to have all these guys performing. Thank You."
The Winners medal is now being given to MI Emirates. Each of the support staff is getting it.
Sam Billings (Dubai Capitals Skipper): "Incredibly proud of the team. An impressive feat to reach the final. I would like to thank the support staff, who are the unsung heroes of our stupendous season. The team owners are brilliant. We missed our skills in the final, but all credit to Nicholas Pooran and his team for their all-round show. We gave away 20-25 runs too many. I'm thankful for the opportunity that I got to lead Dubai Capitals. The UAE players have all been impressive. I'm certainly looking forward to next year."
