NYS vs A-RZ--CRICKET--TAD-MS3P Match Preview
The Team Abu Dhabi played its last game in the competition against the Bangla Tigers. This night’s game was played at the same venue as Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi. Batting first, TAD scored just 66 runs and was bowled out. Bangla Tigers, as expected, made short work of this score by hammering the required runs in 4.5 overs, losing just one wicket. Daniel Sams was adjudged player of the match for Team Abu Dhabi, picking up three wickets for 11 runs from his quota of 2 overs.
The Team Abu Dhabi batting order ran into trouble right from the word go and never really recovered from the early damage. Just two of their batters managed to reach double figures. The skipper Dwaine Pretorius scored fifteen runs from 13 balls while the tailender Rumman Raees scored 20 runs from 8 balls with three sixes. The TAD bowling was plundered all over the park by Jordon Cox, and the only bowler who picked up a wicket was James Fuller who bowled up front in this game.
On the other hand, the New York Strikers team is going into this game on the back of three wins in a row. They played their last contest against the Delhi Bulls in a day/night game in Abu Dhabi yesterday. Batting first, the New York Strikers scored 98 runs for the loss of four wickets. The Delhi Bulls team was bundled out for a score of a meager 31 runs in 9.3 overs. Chamika Karunaratne was adjudged player of the match for his three-wicket haul, and he also picked up three catches.
The New York Strikers' batting charge was led by Rahmanullah Gurbaz, who scored 49 runs from 24 games with five sixes. He was assisted by Odean Smith, who hit a cameo towards the end of the innings, scoring 25 runs from 15 balls with two sixes. Akael Hosein led the bowling charge for New York Strikers, picking up three wickets for just seven runs from his two overs. Chamika Karunaratne picked up three wickets for six runs. All the New York bowlers were among wickets and picked up at least one wicket in the Delhi Bulls innings.
