Right! That's all from this amazing game. The T10 action won't stop here as Delhi Bulls and Deccan Gladiators lock horns. Switch the tab and enjoy the action from that game. Goodbye from this game. Take care and cheers!
Waseem Muhammad is named Player of the Match for his brilliant knock.
Northern Warriors skipper, Nicholas Pooran tells that it was a wonderful opening stand for them. Says it is important two points for them. Adds he didn't do well but feels not everday can go his way.
Earlier in the game, the Warriors won the toss and asked Abu Dhabi to bat first. Stirling and Gayle, their two big names, couldn't get going and departed soon. However, Luke Wright played a handy cameo. Clarke and Duckett though got going and went big in the final 3 overs and took the team to a huge total. Warriors were very good with the ball at the start as they removed the Abu Dhabi openers early. However, they failed to close the innings well. They gave away 56 in the final 3 overs. However, the way their openers batted, they managed to seal the deal on the last ball.
Team Abu Dhabi were poor with the ball and they were poor in the field as well. The last ball fumble from Mustafa just summed up their outing on the field. They were taken apart by the Warriors' openers and it looked like Abu Dhabi will cross the line. However, Overton kept his cool in the last over and almost won the game for his side. The fumble on the last ball from Mustafa meant that Abu Dhabi eventually ended up on the correct side.
Chasing the big score, the Warriors were off to a flier. And they just kept going. It was Waseem Muhammad who took the Team Abu Dhabi bowling apart. Simmons played a perfect fiddle to him. Muhammad got to his half ton but fell in the last over. Pooran departed on the first ball and things got really close. They are lucky to have gotten over the line in the end after the fumble from Mustafa on the last ball.
What an amazing game of T10 cricket! It looked like the Warriors will sail through comfortably but in the end, Overton produced a fine last over to turn things around. He put Team Abu Dhabi under massive pressure but the fumble on the last ball from Rohan has probably cost them the game.

Jamie Overton to Rovman Powell ,WOW! They win! Powell gets the two. The two was not on but he gets it. A lovely fuller ball around middle again from Overton. Powell flicks it through mid-wicket. Rohan Mustafa in the deep comes charging ahead from the deep. If he picks the ball, there is a chance that he will find the batsman short. But hang on he fumbles. He tries to pick the ball again but he fumbles again and that's enough time for the batters to get the two needed runs. NORTHERN WARRIORS WIN BY 8 WICKETS!
2 needed off 1 ball. Powell, who has not faced a single ball, is on strike. Can he become the hero?

Jamie Overton to Nicholas Pooran ,OUT! TAKEN IN THE DEEP! Pooran falls. Oh, dear! What is going on here? A low full toss around off, Pooran goes for the glory shot but fails to time it as well as it would've liked. McCoy at long on makes no mistake. Overton on a hat-trick here. 3 needed in 2 balls.
Here comes the man in form. The man who has smashed sixes for will. Yes. Here is Nicholas Pooran. Just a hit away. Will he go for the glory shot?

Jamie Overton to Waseem Muhammad ,OUT! LBW! Overton gets his man this time. Twist in the game? Lovely fuller ball around middle, Waseem fails to flick and is rapped on the pad. An appeal and the finger goes up. He has to go. Muhammad cannot finish off the game. End of a brilliant knock from him.
