MSA vs DB Match Preview

The debutant in this year's Abu Dhabi T10 competition, Morrisville Samp Army, has succeeded in remaining unbeaten by winning their third game against Team Abu Dhabi. This victory was possible thanks mainly to the efforts of their all-rounder Karim Janat, who scored 58 runs from 28 balls to provide a great start to the Morrisville side. The Morrisville Samp Army has had a dream start to their stint in the competition and is currently the only unbeaten team in the league.

Chennai Brave set Samp Army a target of 106 runs after their skipper Moeen Ali opted to bowl first. The Samp Army team timed their chase perfectly, with Karim Janat being the show star with a superb 58 from 28 deliveries. Eleven runs were required from the last over of the game. Janat hammered two sixes in a row to complete his handiwork in style. He had the experienced David Miller playing at the other end, and these two batters combined to put on 76 runs. Miller let the Afghan batter take center stage and dominate the proceedings.

The Delhi Bulls’ top-order batting will be in the hands of Rilee Rossouw and Usman Khan. Some other crucial batters for Delhi Bulls are James Vince, Rovman Powell, Ravi Bopara, and the wicket-keeper batsman Quinton de Kock. Johnson Charles has also played some valuable knocks for Delhi in the past. The bowling department for Delhi Bulls will be in the hands of Abdul Rahman, Fazalhaq Farooqi, Richard Gleeson, Naveen ul-Haq, Dunith Wellalage, and Wasim Akram.

The victory for Delhi Bulls in their last game was set up by Richard Gleeson against Bangla Tigers. This was the third victory in a row for the Bulls. It meant they reached the top of the points table for now. The Tigers looked good at one stage before Gleeson arrived on the scene. He changed the script of this contest in the fourth over within five balls. He picked up vital Miller, Shanaka, and Cox wickets and reduced the Tigers to 29 for five.
