DUBAI - West In­dies and Bar­ba­dos bats­man Shai Hope stole the spot­light for the cham­pi­ons Dubai Cap­i­tals, by se­cur­ing the Green Belt for the sea­son’s best bat­ter in the just-con­clud­ed ILT20 in Dubai in the Unit­ed Arab Emi­rates.

Hope’s con­sis­tent bril­liance with the bat was in­stru­men­tal in the Cap­i­tals’ suc­cess as his vi­tal 43-run knock in the fi­nal took his tour­na­ment tal­ly to 527 runs at an im­pres­sive av­er­age of 58.55, edg­ing out MI Emi­rates’ Tom Ban­ton in a close­ly con­test­ed race for the Green Belt.

The styl­ish right-han­der was one of on­ly two cen­tu­ri­ons in the tour­na­ment, un­der­lin­ing his dom­i­nance in a league filled with world-class tal­ent.

The Desert Vipers, de­spite falling short in the fi­nal, had their stand­out per­former in Sam Cur­ran, who claimed the Red Belt as the Most Valu­able Play­er.

The tour­na­ment al­so saw oth­er stand­out per­for­mances, with MI Emi­rates’ Fazal­haq Fa­rooqi earn­ing the White Belt for the best bowler, thanks to his 21 wick­ets, in­clud­ing a record-break­ing 5-for-16 in the sea­son open­er.

Abu Dhabi Knight Rid­ers West In­di­an all-rounder Ja­son Hold­er fin­ished be­hind Fa­rooqi with 17 wick­ets in ten match­es.

Mean­while, MI Emi­rates’ Muham­mad Waseem con­tin­ued his dom­i­nance among lo­cal tal­ents, se­cur­ing the Blue Belt as the best UAE play­er for the third con­sec­u­tive sea­son.
