England's Jordan Cox made an unbeaten 61 to guide defending champions Dubai Capitals into the International League T20 play-offs with a six-wicket win over Sharjah Warriorz. Cox hit six fours and one six in his 50-ball innings as Capitals chased 135 with five balls to spare. He was supported by opener Shayan Jahangir, who made an 51 off 39 balls. Warriorz, who are now in a three-way battle for the final play-off spot, posted 134-8 from their 20 overs with West Indies batter Johnson Charles top-scoring with 43. They will battle with Gulf Giants and Abu Dhabi Knight Riders for the fourth play-off place, while Capitals could yet finish second and have two chances to reach the final on 4 January.
