Delhi Bulls beat Northern Warriors by 6 wickets
That is it from the coverage of this game, folks! We have another game lined up for you as Team Abu Dhabi take on Bangla Tigers. That game will start at 8 pm local (4 pm GMT). Switch tabs to enjoy the coverage of that game. Cheers!
Dwayne Bravo, the skipper of Delhi Bulls, gives credit to his players to get a win and they are looking forward to their next match. Tells that Ravi Rampaul bowled brilliantly and they were a happier team going into the break. Tells that Rahmanullah Gurbaz, Hafeez played really well. Says that they have to be free, prepared for the next game.
Rahmanullah Gurbaz has been awarded the Man of the Match for his blistering 30 off just 10 balls, he says that he is happy with his performance. Adds that it is difficult to hit every ball as they don't have time to spend time. Thanks the staff in the end.
Northern Warriors had to defend a par total and for that, the bowlers had to be top-notch. They failed to give a good start and never came into the game. They took two wickets in the middle but that did not help much. Josh Little struck late but it was too late for a comeback. A day to forget for Northern Warriors.
Delhi Bulls bowlers' did half the job in the first innings and the batters completed it. Rahmanullah Gurbaz gave them a blistering start as he scored 30 off just 10 balls. Once both the openers fell, Mohammad Hafeez and Sherfane Rutherford build a partnership and did the job with ease. Rutherford fell but he did his job brilliantly and then the following batters completed the proceedings.
Excellent batting from Delhi Bulls and they are up and running in this tournament with a win. Dwayne Bravo is a happy captain and smiles are all around the dugout. A poor day at the office for Northern Warriors who were short in every field of the game. Something they will look onto it.
