Milestone
So that it is it from this encounter. Abu Dhabi Knight Riders are still to win a game in the inaugural season of the International League T20. This is me, Arijit Kundu and alongside co-commentator Deepak Prakash and scorer/analyst Paras Yadav. Stay tuned.
Rahmanullah Gurbaz (Player of the Match): "After a few matches of low scores, it is difficult to comeback. I would like to thank everyone in our team management for their support. Our head coach supported me a lot so credits to him as well. It is important for me and my team to take decisions from behind the stumps. It is also my job to do the wicketkeeping well."

Joe Denly (Sharjah Warriors Captain): "Yeah, we were pretty happy. We kept them in check, prevented them from taking off, and maintained control of the middle overs. They had some excellent bowlers, and we definitely spiced up the chase. The group has good depth, and the atmosphere in camp is positive."
Sunil Narine (Abu Dhabi Knight Riders Captain): "I will say. We attempted well but didn't come out well. I think the key factor was to take wickets in the powerplay and we couldn't do it. I think, today it was possible. Had we picked up early wickets and controlled the powerplay, we would have pulled it."

It's time for the presentation ceremony!
6:53 PM IST | So, with that Abu Dhabi Knight Riders’ losing streak continues. They’ve played 7 matches now and lost all of them. The Warriors grab up some crucial points which will determine their fate for qualification later in the season.
Arriving for the chase, Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Tom Kohler-Cadmore gave a flying start to the Sharjah Warriors on this day. It was actually Gurbaz who kept on blazing fire. He tore apart the bowlers inside the powerplay. They raced up 62 runs in 5.2 overs.
Gurbaz was dismissed at the 10th over and the side had already crossed 90 runs then. But the bowlers of the Knight Riders pulled the ball in their court by extracting wickets in a regular fashion. Lahiru Kumara scalped two wickets in one over but a counter-attack followed from the tail. With a bit of crest and troughs in the graph, Sharjah Warriors managed to pull off a win in the end.
Earlier, the Knight Riders opted to bat first, and got off to a strong start, with openers Paul Stirling and Joe Clarke displaying great poise at the crease. Clarke, however, failed to capitalize on the opportunity and was dismissed for only 7 runs, leaving Stirling in command of the innings.
Dhananjaya de Silva joined Stirling at the crease, and the two began to build a partnership, but their efforts were cut short when de Silva was caught off guard by Paul Walter's precision in the 13th over, departing for 18 runs off 21 balls.
Stirling looked in great touch and departed for 56 runs. Despite the early setbacks, the Knight Riders' middle order rose to the occasion, with Andre Russell and Charith Asalanka taking charge of the scoring at the end of the inning. Russell, who was on fire, smashed 33 runs off 28 balls before leaving in the final over. Asalanka, on the other hand, remained unbeaten on 21 runs off 13 balls, contributing to his team's 149-run total in 20 overs.
Paul Walter bagged two wickets. Noor Ahmad and Naveen-ul-Haq bagged a solitary wicket.
