11:25 PM IST and 9:55 PM Local Time: Well, that has been some hammering from the Bulls to the Titans in this all-important Eliminator. The Bulls were just too much to handle for the Titans and the result showed the same.
Put into bat first, the Bulls were up to the task from ball one. Phil Salt (59), Tim David (40) and Romario Shepherd (32) were the main men in getting their team to the second highest total ever in the Abu Dhabi T10 league. Two batters batted with a strike rate of more than 300. What else do you expect then from the scoreboard!
In reply, the Titans started well with 68 on the board inside the first 5. Somewhere they were on par with the Bulls at that stage. However, the second half massive acceleration that the Bulls got was an insane one and emulating that would take a lot. In that attempt they collapsed and from 68/0 they crumbled to 86/4.
Alex Hales (35) and Aneurin Donald (37) were the only notable scores. Apart from that no one really took off. They eventually fell short by 47 runs. The pick of the bowlers by far from the Bulls was Junaid Siddique. 2-12 in his 2 overs. He single-handedly killed the chase.
Any other day the 115 posted by the Titans in the second would have been a good score. But today in front of the Bulls' 162, it looks very weak! The Bulls will now face the Quetta Qavalry in the Qualifier 2!

Time for the Post-match Presentation!
Phil Salt has been named as the 'Player of the Match'.
Phil Salt (Player of the Match): "When you get to the knock-outs, it is important to get the best version of yourself. To win. Really pleased to come and win here. We started off really well. Fast starts from everyone. Everyone who came in had free license. We have been threatening all tournament. You just have to keep it as simple as possible."
Kieron Pollard (UAE Bulls Captain): "Again we got a lifeline last night when Deccan won! The playoffs stage is a different ball game. Our batting line up is a threatening one. Hopefully, we can take a few runs into tomorrow as well.
We batted our way to the win. We have not batted to our potential and today we tapped into that. We often would get bundled out for 110 or 120 when we could score over 130 in the previous games. We are confident in what is coming tomorrow for us."

That is it from Abu Dhabi for tonight! The Bulls have emerged victorious and have marched into qualifier number 2! So, there it is then, UAE Bulls vs Quetta Qavalry tomorrow in qualifier two! The winner will take on Aspin Stallions in the final!
