Presentations coming up...
Earlier in this match, the Abu Dhabi Knight Riders lost wickets quickly. The MI Emirates bowlers, Trent Boult and Akeal Hosein, effectively took care of the top-order batters. Trent Boult and Muhammad Rohid Khan took 3 wickets each, Akeal Hosein took 2, and Fazalhaq Farooqi and Waqar Salamkheil took 1 each. Despite a good performance by Andre Russell, the team only scored 95 runs. Russell scored 48 off 25.
The Abu Dhabi Knight Riders bowlers failed to pick wickets. They always had a difficult task as the score was below par, but they still managed to pick only one wicket. Matiullah was the only bowler to pick a wicket, but their side had already dealt the damage when he did.
A convincing win for the MI Emirates as they beat Abu Dhabi Knight Riders by a thumping margin of 9 wickets and almost 12 overs to spare! MI Emirates batted with great intent and took on the bowling unit taking them to the cleaners. Their openers put up a strong stand and build a strong foundation. They lost Kusal Perera in the fifth over but Nicholas Pooran and Muhammad Waseem ensured no more hiccups, and the game was won with ease. They outplayed Abu Dhabi Knight Riders in all departments to register their second win .
