9:10 PM IST and 7:40 PM Local Time: Quetta Qavalry continues to flex their dominance in the 2025 Abu Dhabi T10 League, winning by eight runs. They have played five matches so far and won as many in the league.
Arriving for the chase, Andre Fletcher failed to offer a good start with the bat, falling prey to Ali Majid, the impact player of Quetta. The spinner went on to remove the other opener in the fourth over as Gurbaz departed for 24. Subsequently, Saif Hassan departed before a wicket fell in each of the overs between 6-8th. They needed 28 runs from the last twelve balls when a 15-run over curtailed the equation to 13 needed off the last over. Ben Cutting seemed in good touch but failed to do the job despite Ashmead Need sacrificing his wicket in a runout at the fag end of the innings.
Opting to field first during the toss, the Aspin Stallions got early breakthroughs with the ball. Binura Fernando and Zohair Iqbal were brilliant with the cork, reducing the opposition to 20/2. While Liam Livingstone tried to play a cameo, it was short-lived with the Quetta side losing wickets in clusters during the middle overs. From 78/3 in 7 overs, they managed to get 100/7 in ten overs, thanks to Khawaja Nafay's 35. Despite wickets, he stayed strong in the middle, ensuring some meat to defend for the Qavalry.
Stay tuned for the post-match presentation.
