So, that is it from myself, Karthik Raj, my co-commentator, Ninaad and our scorer for this game. Paras. That's not it for the day though as there is one more T10 game which is about to start in a few minutes. The Morrisville Samp Army will be taking on Delhi Bulls. Switch over and enjoy all the action from that game!
Chris Lynn, Team Abu Dhabi captain: "Slow start to the tournament but we are slowly building now. It is T10, the fastest format but need to have clarity. The bowlers were superb as was Alex Hales. We can take some really good learnings. Good crowd, they were nice and loud. Looking forward to move into the finals. Hopefully, the crowd keeps increasing during the weekend."
Alex Hales, Player of the Match: "Really enjoyed the last two months. There is a bit of a difference between T20 and T10. There is more pressure but the format comes naturally to me. Play a couple of rounds of golf and chill to rest up. Missed the last couple of years but great to be back at this tournament."
Alex Hales bags the 'Player of the Match' award!
Rovman Powell has been named as the 'Power Hitter of the Match'
Time for the Post-match Presentation!
James Vince: "We got a point before and thankfully we got that win tonight. There's no time to get yourself in. The platform was set by Lynn and Hales which made things easier tonight. The bowlers did a good job as well. to restrict to that total. They're a really good bunch. The coaching staff and all the cricket players have been accommodating well so far so hopefully it stays like that the rest of the tournament. There are a lot of golfers in our group so we will enjoy a fair bit of golf and spend some family time as well."
So, an easy eight-wicket victory for Team Abu Dhabi even though they dragged it to the final over. The major job was done by the bowlers as they restricted Northern Warriors to a below par 95/7. From there on, the opening duo of Alex Hales and Chris Lynn looked in supreme touch from the word go as they reached the 50-run mark after just five overs.
Just when it looked like Hales was in ominous mood, the Englishman was deceived by a fine slower delivery from Isuru Udana in the seventh over. The elegant James Vince came in at No.3 and struck two boundaries immediately as Team Abu Dhabi continued to coast home. However, Rayad Emrit bowled a superb penultimate over to just drag the game into the final over. Defending just four runs, Abhimanyu Mithun had the odds stacked against him but he got a consolation wicket by castling Lynn. The wicket didn't put off the batting side as Brandon King struck a boundary to finish off the game with two balls to spare!

9.3 A Mithun to C Lynn
W OH!! CHRIS LYNN HAS DRAGGED IT ON!! Full outside-off, Lynn tries to finish things off in style by coming down the track but he can only get an inside-edge onto the stumps. Surely, there isn't a twist in the tale here right?
