International League T20 2024 (Jan 19-Feb 17)

[NYRB]

Big 17th over for Dubai, 15 off . 29 needed off final 3 for them now.

 

[NYRB]

Momentum swings again......Sam Curran with a wicket

Dubai need 21 off 12 with 5 in hand to beat Desert Vipers

 

[NYRB]

Dubai need 13 to win off the last over against the Desert Vipers.

Arguably the best game of ILT20 so far.

 

[NYRB]

4 to start the last over! Lucky but Dubai will take them any way they can.

 

[NYRB]

2 good hits from the last 3 balls will do it for Dubai. Easier said than done though.

 

[NYRB]

Raza does the unthinkable. Needing 6 to win off the last ball, he does it!

"Unbelievable scenes" quote from Waqar Younis.

 

[NYRB]

Standings with 3 games in the regular season remaining:



Sharjah and Desert Vipers now need results to go their way in order to make the Playoffs.

 

[NYRB]

Game 28 of the ILT20:


Teams:

Abu Dhabi Knight Riders (Playing XI): Jason Roy, Michael-Kyle Pepper(w), Alishan Sharafu, Laurie Evans, Imad Wasim, Sagar Kalyan, Fabian Allen, David Willey, Sunil Narine(c), Joshua Little, Ali Khan

Gulf Giants (Playing XI): James Vince(c), Jordan Cox, Chris Lynn, Shimron Hetmyer, Gerhard Erasmus, Jamie Smith(w), Jamie Overton, Dominic Drakes, Chris Jordan, Aayan Afzal Khan, Zuhaib Zubair



Gulf Giants have won the toss and have opted to bat

 

[NYRB]

Hetmyer is one of the most overrated West Indians ever to represent them.

 

[NYRB]

Hetmyer looks fat, lazy and untalented for me. He overrates himself.

 

[NYRB]

Giants finish on 166/3 against Abu Dhabi.

 

[NYRB]

Erasmus of Namibia into the attack for the first time today.

 

[NYRB]

Roy whacks Erasmus for 6 got every bit of that.

 

[NYRB]

Back to back boundaries from Roy off Erasmus. Getting into the groove now in Dubai.

 

[NYRB]

A hattrick of boundaries from Roy.

 

[NYRB]

20 off Erasmus' first over and one thing is clear Jason Roy took a liking to him.

 

[NYRB]

And James Vince has immediately called his best bowler Overton into the attack.

 

[NYRB]

Joe Clarke batting well early, means Jason Roy can play his natural game with no pressure.

 

[NYRB]

Jamie Overton gets his 2nd wicket of the game and Gulf Giants needed that to pull things back there.

 

[NYRB]

Gulf Giants lose a review early and Sharafu from the UAE survives.

 

[NYRB]

If your James Vince you would be tempted to give J Overton another over- 3rd one for him here.

 

[NYRB]

Sharafu takes a liking to his countryman, and goes bang for 6 against Aayan

 

[NYRB]

A good 83 metre hit that one.

 

[NYRB]

Zubair of the UAE into the attack now for his 1st over of the day.

 

[NYRB]

missed stumping from Smith. Thats elementary.
