Team Abu Dhabi opted to bat first only to see Alex Hales off the back of Alex Hales off the first ball of the match. However, Chris Lynn and James Vince played some sensible cricket. The duo stitched 71 runs for the second wicket, hitting some timely boundaries on a tough pitch to bat on.

While Lynn smashed 35 runs off 23 balls with one four and two sixes, Vince remained unbeaten on 44 off 25 balls with five fours and two sixes to his name. Fabian Allen smashed a quick 14* to power the team’s total to 100 runs for the loss of three wickets in 10 overs.

Morrisville Samp Army were expected to chase down the total, given their recent form. But the likes of Andrew Tye and Peter Hatzoglou skittled the core of the opposition batting line-up. The duo shared six wickets equally between them to leave the MSA side reeling at 28/8.

The likes of Johnson Charles, Moeen Ali, David Miller, and Shimron Hetmyer didn’t do much in the chase. However, Basil Hameed, batting at 10, put on a stunning fight to take the team close to the target.

His knock of 47* came off just 18 balls, but his efforts went in vain as MSA could only reach 82 runs for the loss of nine wickets in 10 overs to go down by 18 runs.
