International League T20 2024 (Jan 19-Feb 17)

[NYRB]

Imad Wasim gets James Vince

Gulf Giants sink further to 21/2 off 20 balls.

 

[NYRB]

Jordan Cox has to go for 21 off 26 and to be fair he never really got going.

Gulf Giants 93/3 off 13.0 overs

 

[NYRB]

Lynn paying no regard for Narine.

Usman from the UAE has come out looking to attack.

 

[NYRB]

Gulf Giants finish on 161/6 off 20 overs against Abu Dhabi . Felt like Abu Dhabi bowled quite well to restrict them to that.

 

[NYRB]

Abu Dhabi finish Gulf Giants off in the 19th over and win with 10 balls to spare

 

[NYRB]

After Game 16:

Abu Dhabi right in contention for a Top 2 spot.

 

[NYRB]

[NYRB]

Dubai centre of the cricket world tonight after the Marsh Cup on today at the WACA.

 

[NYRB]

Huge from Mustafa for 6. Another UAE player making a name for himself in this tournament.

 

[NYRB]

Great powerplay from the Desert Vipers, 64 runs against Dubai in the first 6 overs.

 

[NYRB]

Desert Vipers finish on 169/6 off 20 against Dubai in Game 17

 

[NYRB]

Warner with another horror innings 4 runs from 10 balls.

 

[NYRB]

Ben Dunk in comparison is 31 off 13 balls not out. It tells you all you need to about how Warner is going .

 

[NYRB]

Game 18 of the ILT20:

MI Emirates (Playing XI): Kusal Perera, Muhammad Waseem, Andre Fletcher, Nicholas Pooran(w/c), Tim David, Akeal Hosein, Trent Boult, Fazalhaq Farooqi, Muhammad Rohid Khan, Waqar Salamkheil, Odean Smith

MI Emirates won the toss and elected to bowl first .

 

[NYRB]

Bit of an Australian flavour tonight in game 18 tonight with the men with two names: Daniel Sams and Tim David.

 

[ioppolo]

Trent Boult batting at 7 for one team and Daniel Sams at 5 for the other.

What is even happening?

 

[NYRB]

Sharjah post 129/10 off their 20 overs against MI Emirates.

 

[Around the Wicket]

Warner is absolutely shot... he won't be around much longer..

 

[akkaps]

Trent Boult batting at 7 for one team and Daniel Sams at 5 for the other.

I noticed last year that due to the UAE quota, that the two players generally bowl a over each and not bat. That's the level of quality they have in the UAE.

 

[NYRB]

Warner is absolutely shot... he won't be around much longer..

David Warner this tournament 62 runs off 83 balls from 6 innings.

Easily commanding the highest in terms of salary given he is captain. He has looked happy though, happy he is raking in the coin, looking happy with his family in his time in the UAE, but he looks like he couldnt give 2 cahoots how his team fare.

 

[NYRB]

Game 19:

Teams:

Gulf Giants (Playing XI): Jamie Smith(w), James Vince(c), Chris Lynn, Jordan Cox, Usman Khan, Gerhard Erasmus, Shimron Hetmyer, Chris Jordan, Jamie Overton, Zuhaib Zubair, Blessing Muzarabani

Desert Vipers (Playing XI): Rohan Mustafa, Alex Hales, Colin Munro(c), Azam Khan(w), Adam Hose, Wanindu Hasaranga, Ali Naseer, Mohammad Amir, Luke Wood, Tymal Mills, Matheesha Pathirana

DV won toss and elected to field

 

[NYRB]

First of a doubler header on Super Saturday.

 

[NYRB]

Pathirana with the Cristiano Ronaldo celebration and Jamie Smith has to depart for the Gulf Giants.

Giants 46/2 after 7 overs

 

[NYRB]

Chris Jordan is batting at 10 for the Giants , so it suggests me the Giants do have a bit of batting depth.

 

[NYRB]

Hasaranga gets the big scape Chris Lynn very next over.

Gulf Giants sink further 46/3 off 44 balls.
