That is all from this game. A much needed win for New York Strikers. We move to the second game of the day. Time for Chennai Brave Jaguars to face Ajman Bolts. That game will begin shortly. Switch the tabs and join us there. Cheers!
Kieron Pollard says he is pleased with the performance as the guys played really well. Shares the bowlers have to be really strong in this competition. Also, kudos to the way Kusal Perera and Evin Lewis batted. Mentions they have to understand this format and as an individual, they just try to be calm.
Mohammad Amir wins the Player of the Match award. He says it was a must win game for them. Adds it was a perfect team performance and feels it was their best performance. Shares he just tried to execute his plans and try and read the mindset of the batters.
Team Abu Dhabi have now lost consecutive games while defending a total. Today it was close to impossible for them. Defending such a low total needed something special but it was't meant to be. However, they'll hope for a better performance with the bat. With so many superstars, they'll take this an one of the bad day at the office and not think much.
That's what a good bowling performance can do. A proper turnover from New York Strikers who didn't execute their plans with bat and ball in the last match have turned up with a superb performance today. Kusal Perera did the job all the way. He was asked to open today and the Lankan player did the job brilliantly. His fifty was enough for New York Strikers to win the match comfortably.
