"[I was] just trying to get on to a nice start and hopefully get the net run rate going in our favour," Fraser-McGurk said. "When you are riding this phase [of good form], you've got to ride it for as long as you can. Keep going and trying your luck, cricket is a feeble game when it turns."

Opting to bowl, Capitals struck regularly in the powerplay with Ishant Sharma picking up two wickets. Tristan Stubbs also picked up two wickets in an over - that of Abhinav Manohar and M Shahrukh Khan - while Mukesh Kumar finished with three wickets for just 14. It all added up to Capitals having to chase just 90.

"[The NRR] was definitely something we talked of during the break," Fraser-McGurk laughed, "I don't think I needed much encouragement to go out and try and chase that fast. Something we talked about and happy to get it done pretty quick.

"We got the better of the conditions. There was a little bit of dew and it skidded on nicely. Kept a bit low though. I didn't face much spin or slower-pace balls, so it was nice personally."

"We [Capitals] have got confidence in the way we play, we know how to go about our business. Took us a few games to find that out. We can keep looking up and jumped up a few steps on the ladder here. We keep going [like this], who knows..."

This was Capitals' third win in seven matches.
