Akeal Hosein (player of the match): "The surface looked a bit patchy and I thought some balls will grip. I also bowl some swingers and in some surfaces it swings in more. I assess the situation when I come back in the second spell. If there is not enough swing, I spin it more and bowl regular arm balls. Getting the hat-trick would have been the icing on the cake. But it was still really satisfying."
11:10 PM IST, 9:40 PM Local Time I Sourya: MI Emirates have cantered to victory here in their ILT20 match against Sharjah Warriors after a scintillating performance. By winning this match by a gargantuan 106 runs, they have climbed to the top of the table.
Chasing a tough 181 runs on a tricky pitch, the hapless home team never got going, with the Emirates bowler using the two-paced nature of the pitch brilliantly. Spinner Akeal Hosein (4/23), was the pick of them, opening the bowling, turning it square, and almost getting a hat-trick. In one epic over he almost picked up four wickets, in the end getting three. He was ably supported by the experienced Trent Boult, Fazalhaq Farooqi, Dwayne Bravo and Waqar Salamkheil as the hapless Warriors gave up the fight. Niroshan Dickwella top-scored with 22, but never looked convincing as the team got all out for 74 within 13 overs.
Earlier, the visitors reached a big total thanks to the fireworks from Kusal Perera and Andre Fletcher, who put up a great partnership and scored 42 each after the team found themselves in some trouble early. Both scored with a great strike-rate and were backed by Nicholas Pooran (37 off 29), as the trio brought out the big hits that took them to a match-winning score (180/7).
