T10 League 2021-22: Wanindu Hasaranga rattles Bangla Tigers with a fifer

Deccan Gladiators rode on some exceptional and brutal display of batting from Kohler-Cadmore and then some fine bowling from Wanindu Hasaranga to thump Bangla Tigers by 62 runs on Wednesday in the Abu Dhabi T10 League 2021. Batting first, the Gladiators posted 140/1 in 10 overs as Kohler-Cadmore struck a 39-ball 96, a knock which included five maximums and 12 fours during the course. Apart from him, Russell chipped in with an unbeaten 26 off 18 while Odean Smith scored 12 off 3. In reply, the Bangla Tigers never really got into the groove and lost wickets at regular intervals to get reduced to 65/5 and eventually get bundled out for 78 in the 9th over. The Bangla Tigers suffered a defeat by 62 runs. Hasaranga was the pick of the bowlers for the Gladiators after he bagged a fifer to return with figures of 5/8 in 2 overs. The Chennai Braves vs Delhi Bulls The second encounter of the day was between The Chennai Braves and Delhi Bulls. The Delhi side’s bowling unit was successful in restricting the opposition for a less total as the Chennai team could only manage to put 80/4 on the board and that too, courtesy a late surge from Angelo Perera who scored 40 off 24. But the runs were never really enough as Delhi Bulls went over the line by 10 wickets in just over 4 overs. Rahmanullah Gurbaz scored 57* off 16 while Chandrapaul Hemraj was unbeaten at a 9-ball 24. The Bangla Tigers will play Northern Warriors while Delhi Bulls will lock horns with Team Abu Dhabi.

Abu Dhabi T10 League 2021: Batsmen unleash through dominance

The fourth day of the Abu Dhabi T10 league emerged to be a batsmen’s day out when both the encounters became high-scoring clashes. Deccan Gladiators defeated Delhi Bulls by 9 wickets while chasing 113 in less than 8 overs while Team Abu Dhabi beat The Chennai Braves by 8 wickets as they chased down a mammoth 132 in the final over. Deccan Gladiators vs Delhi Bulls Batting first, Delhi Bulls were 39/2 when Rossouw and Sherfane Rutherford joined hands for an important and aggressive stand of 39 runs for the second wicket which certainly laid the foundation for a good total for the side. While Rutherford struck 19 off 6, Rossouw smashed the bowlers all around to notch up a 21-ball 48 which included four maximums and three fours during the course. Rossouw held the fort strong from one end but saw wickets falling at the other side as the Delhi team was bundled out for 112. Andre Russell picked up three wickets for 17 runs in two overs while Tymal Mills and Hasaranga picked up a couple of wickets each. Later, the Gladiators rode on some emphatic batting from Tom Kohler-Cadmore and Tom Banton to go over the line. While Banton was dismissed for 44 off 21, Tom Kohler-Cadmore went on to notch up a fifty to see the side home by 9 wickets. The Chennai Braves vs Team Abu Dhabi The second match of the day unleashed a batting masterclass from both the ends. The Chennai team who batted first posted a huge total of 131/2 in 10 overs with Rajapaksa scoring a half-century. Later, Philip Salt and Paul Stirling provided Team Abu Dhabi with a brilliant start as the two batters put 88 on the board for the first wicket. Stirling was eventually out for 44 off 18 but Salt remained not out for 63 in 28 deliveries which included five sixes and as many fours during the course to clinch a win for the side by 8 wickets and with four balls to spare.

It’s raining sixes at the Abu Dhabi T10 League

The Abu Dhabi T10 League was up to a flying start on Friday, 19 November with the teams hitting a combined total of XX sixes on the opening day of the tournament.

Gurbaz was the pick among the batters, having scored 30 runs off just 10 balls. Hafeez and Rutherford played crucial innings of 31 off 18 and 29 off 15 respectively but none were as explosive as their Afghan teammate.

They finished the first innings of the game at a gobsmacking 145/4 at the end of 10 overs, hitting 13 sixes in total. Chris Gayle and Paul Stirling were pick among the batters in the Abu Dhabi innings scoring 59 and 49 runs respectively. Both batsmen hit 5 sixes each in the course of their innings.

The Abu Dhabi T10 League is back | Timings, teams, where to watch details

The Abu Dhabi T10 League is back, 9 months after the commencement of its last edition. One of the prominent white-ball tournaments in the cricketing circuit, it is famed for big-hitting capabilities and toe crushing yorkers. Over its last four seasons, the primary goal of the tournament has been to provide entertainment to the crowd and this time it will be no different. Schedule The fifth edition of the tournament is scheduled to begin on 19 November with the final scheduled on 4 December, Saturday. The last edition had three matches being played on the same day with the first game starting at 5:30 PM IST. The other two matches were scheduled to begin at 7:45 PM and 10 PM respectively. The current edition will start its first game at 5:30 PM IST and its final game at 9:30 PM IST. All matches take one and a half hours to be completed. All matches will be played at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi Teams While the last edition of the tournament hosted 8 teams and was played with teams divided in two groups of four, this edition just houses 6 teams. It would mean that this edition will be played in a round robin league system with all teams playing against each other twice in the group stages. Team Abu Dhabi, Chennai Braves, Deccan Gladiators, Delhi Bulls, Northern Warriors and Bangla Tigers are the six teams for the season. The last edition of the tournament was won by Northern Warriors under the tutelage of Nicholas Pooran, who was also the player of the tournament.
