Then he dismissed four of the top-six batters in the Central Districts line-up to derail their chase, finishing with figures of 4 for 13 at an economy rate of 3.25.In their batting innings, Capitals had their base set courtesy opener Sediqullah Atal’s 25-ball 41, but Angus Schaw’s three-wicket burst through the middle overs brought Central Districts back.
