Commentry
That is all from this game but don't go anywhere as the second game of the day sees Delhi Bulls take on Ajman Bolts shortly. Swith the tabs and join us there. Cheers!
Rahmanullah Gurbaz says it feels good to win. Tells Andre Fletcher played an unbelievable knock today.
Andre Fletcher wins the Player of the Match award. He says it wasn't an easy wicket, they had to back themselves after losing two games and today everything went their favour despite dropping a couple of catches.
Northern Warriors have themselves to blame! They dropped Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Andre Fletcher earlier in their innings. Andre Fletcher was dropped by his fellow countryman who scored a century while Gurbaz was dropped by Trent Boult! Both were easy catches, to be honest. Gurbaz and Andre Fletcher made most of the lifeline and chased the score with flair and poise. UP Nawabs needed this win. They lost their last match by a close margin. Were buried at the halfway mark in this match but the captain, Rahmanullah Gurbaz led from the front along with Andre Fletcher to chase it down in a flash.
UP Nawabs have chased down a humongous total with five balls to spare! Wow! Spare a thought for the first centurion of the Abu Dhabi T10 league, Sherfane Rutherford and Northern Warriors who were over the moon at the halfway stage while UP Nawabs were dead and buried at the time. Who saw this coming?
