We are done with the Eliminator but don't go anywhere as it is time for the Qualifiers 2. Team Abu Dhabi will face Delhi Bulls at 2000 Local (1600 GMT). So switch the tabs and join us for that game. Cheers!
Paul Stirling is the Player of the Match, he says that they did really a good job. Says early wickets help and the players did exactly and it is fun to go out there and enjoy it. Adds that it is the same as T20 and he is raring to go.
... Stay tuned for the Presentation ...
Thoughts for Bangla Tigers as they were taken to cleaners by the opposition. They were outclassed in both the departments and failed to proceed further in the tournament. They struggled to wickets throughout and it was too late when they got the big wicket of Stirling.
An easy win for Team Abu Dhabi. It was like a park walk as they thumped to victory with 19 balls to spare. Their bowlers did the job and then Stirling and Salt capitalize on it. It was the former who was on the wheel while Salt was playing the second fiddle. Both did their job before giving away their wickets and the following batters finsihed the job.
TEAM ABU DHABI ARE IN THE QUALIFIER 2 AND THEY WILL FACE DELHI BULLS. Bangla Tigers are out of the competition but they will fight for the third spot tomorrow with the losers of Qualifier 2.
