Match Details
The Strikers have kicked off๐ฆตthe Bulls from the scenario of qualification for the 6th edition of Abu Dhabi T10 League and picked themselves up at the top spot.
Two Irish men walked out for the chase and the one who represents the native nation went early this day. Yes, it was Paul Stirling and the other - Eoin Morgan, who played a more than par knock to steer the innings deep. The Strikers had lost two wickets early on this eve and Fazalhaq Farooqi and Richard Gleeson were to be credited for that.
Eoin Morgan and Azam Khan glued a very crucial partnership and steadied the ship from there. The former English skipper shepherded it well with three sixes at brisk intervals. The pair had built 48 runs together and Azam Khan was the one who stayed till the last over alongside skipper Kieron Pollard.
Previously, Delhi Bulls had won the toss and opted to field first. Akeal Hosein struck right in his first over as he removed the dangerous Rilee Rossouw. Stuart Binny followed it up with the scalp of Rahmanullah Gurbaz in the next over.
What followed next was absolute crunching from the duo of Tim David and Tom Banton. The former smacked 23 runs from 10 balls and the latter whacked 46 of 23 balls and fell trap to Jordan Thompson later on.
Some late-end quickfire from Najibullah Zadran and Imad Wasim propelled the scoreboard to 112-6 after 10 overs.
