Magic Moment of the Match: Sultan Ahmed
The presentation ceremony will be up soon, stay tuned..
Sultan Ahmed: "Thanks to God that we won. It was up and down and hopefully, it's a smoother ride from here on. The batting is good, the bowling is good also. You need 120 in this pitch, hope the batters learn from the mistake. The target was small to defend. The bowlers have done well and credit to them as we took early wickets in the powerplay." 
9:38 PM IST| So, the eliminator of the Abu Dhabi T10 League has been done and dusted. Now, Morrisville Samp Army and Deccan Gladiators will be playing in Qualifier 2 to be in the final of the tournament. 

Earlier, Team Abu Dhabi won the toss and opted to field first. The bowlers of the team proved their captain right as they reduced the Gladiators to 4 for 28 in the fourth over. David Wiese and Odean Smith stitched a partnership of 50 runs and ensured that the Gladiators can reach a respectable total. 

Smith was murdering the bowlers and scored 32 runs off 15 balls, which was the highest of the team. It was looking like Smith will take the total to a formidable one when Hatzoglou took a brilliant catch to send the man back. 

This once again brought the scoring rate down and after all the struggles Deccan Gladiators managed to reach a total of 94 runs in their 10 overs. 

In the chase, the Gladiators got a good start as they dismissed the explosive opening duo of Team Abu Dhabi (Alex Hales and Chirs Lynn) by the 8th ball of the innings for just 14 runs. Two more wickets fell and they were 4 for 32 in the 4th over. But the batters of Team Abu Dhabi did not deter from going after the bowlers and that kept them in the hunt.

But in the end, the loss of too many wickets at the start and also a cluster of wickets towards the end cost them as they fell short of the target by 6 runs. James Vince was the highest scorer for Team Abu Dhabi with 21 runs off 15 balls and the heroics of Adil Rashid (18 off 9) was also not enough for them. The pick of the bowlers for the Gladiators was Tabraiz Shamsi, who bowled 2 overs and conceded just 12 runs in them picking up 2 wickets.

Deccan Gladiators will now try and qualify for the finals by defeating the debutants Morrisville Samp Army in Qualifier 2 and keep their hopes to defend the title alive.

0 Last ball of the innings and Team Abu Dhabi falls short here.  Nails in the yorker at the stumps, Rashid cannot get underneath it and misses it to the keeper. Team Abu Dhabi are eliminated here as they finish with 89/8 in 10 overs. The defending champions Gladiators win this contest by 5 runs to go through to Qualifier 2. 
1 ball 6 runs, can Adil Rashid do it?? He will swing whatever and wherever is the ball that's for sure.
9.5 Z Khan to N ul
1 Naveen gets a single and gives it back to Adil Rashid.  Goes for the lap shot and gets the edge to the third man fielder for a single. 
2 balls left and 7 runs to be scored. Naveen Ul Haq will have to at least hit a four here.
9.4 Z Khan to A Rashid
1b Wide yorker outside off, Rashid misses and they sneak in a bye. He gets off strike. 
OHHHH!!!! Wait it's not over yet, at least not for Adil Rashid. A six and that changes the momentum again. Last minute drama here at Sheikh Zayed Stadium.
9.3 Z Khan to A Rashid
6 SIX! Rashid has kept the home team in it here.  Fuller length outside off, Rashid picks it up and lofts it away over cow corner as the ball sails over the stands flat and hard over long-on and into the stands. 
14 runs off 4 balls needed and it seems that the Gladiators will stay in the run.
9.2 Z Khan to A Rashid
2 A couple of runs here.  Nails in the wide yorker, Rashid squeezes it away to deep third man for a couple of runs. 
9.1 Z Khan to N ul
1 Khan will bowl the final over of the game.  Naveen gets a single of the first ball of the over to get off strike.  Length ball here, Naveen looks to lap it away and gets it to third man for a single.
