Presentations coming up...
Earlier in the game, Abu Dhabi Knight Riders scored 161, largely thanks to Jason Holder's late innings of 26 off 17 balls. They started strong with Kyle Mayers but lost momentum after reaching 120/3, stumbling to 130/7 as spinners Zampa and Agar took control. The pitch was though in favor of the bowlers. Adam Zampa and Adam Milne picked three wickets each for the Sharjah Warriorz.
Abu Dhabi Knight Riders might think they should have had a few more runs on the board. Sunil Narine picked up two wickets, but overall, their bowling unit failed to deliver at the start. Jason Holder later tried to pull things but the required rate was way too low. He picked two wickets as well.
Johnson Charles was the star of the show, blasting 65 runs off just 35 deliveries to provide the Warriors with the momentum they needed to chase down the target. Tom Kohler-Cadmore also made a significant contribution, scoring 39 runs off 24 deliveries before departing. The rest of the batters failed in the later half but managed to finish the job.
A hard fought win, that should have been an easy one for the Sharjah Warriorz! They showcased a scintillating batting display in the top order but it was the total opposite in the lower order. The duo of Tom Kohler-Cadmore and Johnson Charles set the tone for the Warriors' victory, unleashing a flurry of boundaries and sixes to leave the Knight Riders' bowlers reeling. They had a hiccup towards the end but Ashton Agar's cameo helped them get over the line.

Short, on off, Harmeet Singh pulls it over short fine for a single. It was also a no ball so that will do. Sharjah Warriorz beat the Abu Dhabi Knight Riders by 4 wickets!

Fuller, outside off, Ashton Agar drives it through covers for a brace. The fielder throws it towards the bowler who makes a run out attempt. The umpire checks and replays shows that Harmeet Singh was well in. Just 2 needed now.

SIX! A much needed one! Fuller one, on middle, Ashton Agar picks it well and heaves it over deep mid-wicket for a biggie. A sigh of relief for the Sharjah Warriorz!
