Nothing to write about Team Abu Dhabi. They failed to take a single wicket while defending a total in excess of 140. All their bowlers were scratching their heads as they had no clue what to bowl against the opposition carnage. A day to forget for their bowlers.
Going into the break, no one thought it would be that easy to chase. Surely, Team Abu Dhabi didn't see this coming but Moeen Ali and Kennar Lewis believed and went bonkers from the word go. It was Lewis who took the charge while Ali took time to settle but once the latter found his groove, he started dealing in sixes and then both smashed all around the ground. An extraordinary performance from Northern Warriors.
Northern Warriors take the crucial two points as they win by 10 wickets. They keep the playoffs hope alive and what a performance from their batters, surely a morale-boosting and will give a lot of confidence in the camp.
