...Presentation coming up...
The chances for The Chennai Braves are looking very slim for them to qualify! It was very crucial for them to win this but now, the chances look very dim for them. Still not out of the competition but they need some results to go their way. Team Abu Dhabi are flying high and will hope to keep this momentum going on.
A comfortable win in the end. The win was set up by the bowlers mostly. A tricky pitch to bat on and they made sure to make amends early on and pushed The Chennai Braves on the back foot completely. The Chennai Braves ended with a below-par score and had to come up with some magic to get a result out of it. They did so as the Braves took three wickets in no time but the pressure was always on The Chennai Braves and one stand was enough to seal the game for Team Abu Dhabi. Chris Lynn led his team from the front.
