Right then! that is it from this game. The T10 action though continues as the second game comes your way. Just switch tabs and enjoy all the action from the second game where Pune Devils take on Deccan Gladiators.
ABDUL SHAKOOR IS NAMED AS THE MAN OF THE MATCH!
Warriors' bowling was just like the Arabians as they too were carted in the first few overs but Fabian Allen brought them back into the game as he ended with a couple. Maheesh Theekshana had a wicket to his name on the 3rd ball of the Arabians' chase as Rayad Emrit too had a wicket to his name. The game went down the wire courtesy of Wayne Parnell's first three balls off the last over as the Warriors lost the game on the final ball.
Chasing a total of 128 then needed one person to stay there till the end and they found one in Abdul Shakoor. The right-handed batsman went beserk from ball one as he smashed the Northern Warriors bowlers to all parts of the ground as he brought up his fifty. Just when they were in touching distance of a win, Shakoor departed causing a mini collapse as they lost another wicket soon after. And they went onto win the game in a most dramatic fashion as they won the game on the last ball.
We have our first winners of the Abu Dhabi T10 league 2021. The Maratha Arabians have pipped Northern Warriors by 5 wickets. Shorter format means insane but calculated batting and we have seen it from the Arabians.

OUT! RUN OUT! Another wicket falls! The Warriors are not out of this game yet! Good length ball on middle, Malhotra flicks it to deep mid-wicket and takes off for a couple.
