But remarkably, the Vipers then took all ten Capitals wickets for just 37 runs in a little over six overs to secure a 61-run win as the Capitals were bowled out for 130 in 14 overs.
It means the Vipers now have a day to rest before Wednesday's semi-finals, with the prospect of a second successive final in this competition now just one match away.
Just to remind you, the ILT20 Development Tournament sees all six franchises, field teams, and it serves as a shop window for the UAE players ahead of the player auction in early October that precedes Season 5 of the DP World ILT20.
After a disappointing loss just 24 hours earlier, the Vipers bounced back with the bat in emphatic fashion, with captain Vitja Aravind leading from the front.
The opener scored 70 from 48 balls with seven fours and three sixes, And they were also telling contributions from Isra Ahmed, who got the innings off to a flying start with 26 from only eight deliveries, Nilanj Keswani, who made 26, and Hashit Kaushik with 35.
The innings did fall away a little at the back end as only 16 runs came from the final three overs, but 191 for nine still looked extremely competitive.
Or so it seemed until the capital's openers, Ariane Sharma and Khalid Shah got cracking.
Khalid blasted 62 from only 33 balls, while Ariane gave him excellent support with 25.
But when Angad Nehru dismissed Ariane from the final ball of the eighth over with 93 on the board, the whole course of the match flipped 180 degrees.
Wali Mohammed took two wickets and Wazim Akram one, and there was a run out too, as the Vipers bowlers and fielders turned the screw superbly.
The wind took the Vipers up to second place in the table and secured a semi-final spot, but they could finish in third or fourth, depending on results on the final day of the league stage.
But for now, the side can enjoy the fact they've secured a top four placing, so let's hear from head coach Jack Luffman.
