Warriors have a slender total of 129 to defend. Emirates gave almost nothing away, with everyone chipping in with the ball. Akeal Hosein and Waqar Salamkheil exploited the conditions to full effect, while Trent Boult and Fazalhaq Farooqi showed their dexterity and applied a stranglehold. Both pacers are leading the wicket-takers chart. Warriors will need Maheesh Theekshana to bowl another game-changing spell to stay alive in this contest. I'll be back in a few minutes for the chase
