Scorer: @Thilak_Rama | Commentator: Rvel Zahid
Jawadullah bowled well for his four overs, chipping away with three wickets and emerging as one of the rare bright spots for Warriors. Stoinis used his experience well tonight, keeping things quiet but defending 131 was always going to be tough with Clarke stepping on the gas paddle right from the word go, making full use of the powerplay and thumping a quickfire half-century.
Sharjah Warriors are still vying for a place in the playoffs but they would rue the opportunity to improve their chances for advancing in the tournament tonight. Meanwhile, Abu Dhabi Knight Riders will bow out of the tournament with their first and last win of the inaugural season of ILT20.
Lots of reflection to do before the next season because despite having plenty of firepower in their ranks, they found it tough to get results in their favour. Riders showed their vulnerability to a collapse today as Russell, Asalanka, and King lost wickets in a quick succession and had Warriors scored a few more runs, it might have gone down to the wire given it was a tricky pitch with the ball not coming nicely onto the bat and change-up deliveries making it hard to time the ball.
