Team Abu Dhabi beat The Chennai Braves by 8 wickets
That's a wrap. Tuesday will dish out another couple of matches in the Abu Dhabi T10 League, 2021 - Northern Warriors vs Deccan Gladiators, at 6 pm local (2 pm GMT) and Bangla Tigers vs The Chennai Braves, at 8 pm local (4 pm GMT). Don't forget to join us for all the action. Cheers!
Liam Livingstone, the winning captain of Team Abu Dhabi, says that they are playing some great cricket and everyone is contributing. Adds that it's nice to give the boys some game time after they spent some time on the bench in the first three games. Signs off by calling it a perfect game.
Philip Salt is the Player of the Match! Says that it's great to get four wins in four and he is happy to contribute to the team. Praises the knock of Paul Stirling and adds that the Irishman took the pressure off him. Shares that it was very humid out there and the ball was stopping a bit onto the bat. Tells that he is loving his time in this tournament.
The Chennai Braves' bowlers were under the pump right from the word go as they leaked 88 runs in the first 6 overs. Mark Deyal took the wicket of Paul Stirling in the 7th over and that put a very little break on the scoring rate. They struggled for control in dewy conditions and it was very tough for the Braves to grip the ball and also do the fielding. They now have faced their third loss in a row and continue to languish in the bottom half of the table.
Yet another dominating batting show by Team Abu Dhabi and they have extended their winning run to four games. The chase started with Philip Salt smashing The Chennai Braves bowlers all over the park. His senior partner, Paul Stirling soon joined him and hammered Samiullah Shinwari for three sixes in an over. The Irish departed in the very next over but Livingstone joined Salt and never let the tempo of the chase go down. Liam departed on the last ball of the penultimate over but Philip Salt kept his cool and scored an unbeaten fifty to take his team home.

SIX! Well, Shanaka just has one run to defend now. A biggie on the first ball and that releases all the pressure. A full toss outside off, it is heaved over the mid-wicket fence for a biggie.
Who will bowl the last over? It is Dasun Shanaka. The skipper has taken on the responsibility. Can he defend 7?

Curtis Campher To Liam Livingstone OUT!
OUT! TIMBER! Curtis Campher gets his man and is there still a twist in this game? 8 needed in the last over. A dipping full toss on middle, Liam Livingstone swings early and misses the ball. The stumps are rearranged and Campher has a smile on his face.

Curtis Campher To Liam Livingstone
DROPPED! The game has probably been dropped by Laxman Manjrekar! Fuller and on middle, a slower one. Liam Livingstone looks to heave it on the leg side but it goes off the top edge towards deep square leg. Laxman never looks comfortable under it and in the end, he spills it. Two taken.

Curtis Campher To Liam Livingstone

Dasun Shanaka To Philip Salt
Fifty for Salt! A really good knock. Took the attack to the bowlers in the Powerplay, did slow down after that but the key is, he is still out there. Needs to stay there till the end. A short one, this is pulled through mid-wicket for one.

Dasun Shanaka To Liam Livingstone
A lot happened there but just a single in the end! Short and outside off, Liam Livingstone is way too early into the pull. It goes off the toe-end, lands just short of the keeper who dives to his right and makes a half stop. It goes towards short third man. The batters take a single. The fielder has a needless shy at the bowler's end but misses. Salt wants an overthrow and is halfway down the track but he is sent back in time.

Dasun Shanaka To Liam Livingstone
Two more! On off, it's served on a length. Liam Livingstone looks to hit it down the ground but it goes more off the bottom part of his willow. Two taken.

That was half a chance! Needed to stick! A full toss on off, this is hammered back towards the bowler. Shanaka initially sticks his left hand out but then tries to pull it back, it just clips his fingers and goes to long off. They take a single.

Mark Deyal To Paul Stirling OUT!
OUT! TAKEN! Whatever the chat was before this over, it has paid off. Deyal gets the wicket of Paul Stirling. Is it a little too late though? This is on middle, Paul Stirling looks to play the slog sweep, he tries to clear the big part of the ground but only manages a top edge towards deep mid-wicket. Roman Walker there takes a really good catch diving to his left.
There is a mid-pitch meeting at the moment by The Chennai Braves' players. They are wondering who should they give the ball to and after giving it a thought, it is Deyal who will continue.
