Kieron Pollard (Winning Captain): "We were never in doubt, Waseem stood tall for us. This has been our journey throughout the tournament, someone standing up at the right moment.

May the best team join us in the final and we have a good final."

7:30 PM IST | Time for the presentation ceremony.
Eoin Morgan: "The bowlers were brilliant. Akeal Hosein was brilliant with the new ball. Jordan Thompson, Azam Khan were brilliant with it. Best of luck to us and hopefully we come back stronger in the final. Yeah, he was the one who headed Carl Crowe into the management. It is important to try and make the simple decisions. With Polly, he is an unbelievable cricketer. I have played quite some cricket with Paul Stirling. Rashid Khan and Wahab Riaz have played cricket all over, it has been a wonderful outing so far."
7:18 PM IST | Arijit: So, despite a low score from the Morrisville Samp Army, it has been a gripping game from Qualifier 1 of the Abu Dhabi T10 League 2022. New York Strikers led by Kieron Pollard scoots into the finals of the 6th edition and it was Akeal Hosein, the man who gleamed with the cherry, brought up the winning runs.
Kieron Pollard of the New York Strikers won the toss and elected to bowl first. Akeal Hosein was brought in the first over and he was on a hattrick then. He was superb and struck two-in-two removing Johnson Charles and Karim Janat. This came in like a jolt at the Samp Army and they failed to survive from it and ended their scoreboard on 81-9 after 10 overs. Dwaine Pretorius was the highest scorer for them with 15 runs from 11 balls and Moeen Ali just gave a brisk start in the first few overs.

Arriving for the chase Eoin Morgan took apart Sheldon Cottrell for two back-to-back sixes in the first over and gave a flying start to the New York Strikers. The wickets fell in the middle overs as Maheesh Theekshana and Karim Janat seemed to have made things trickier. Theekshana was stellar in removing Paul Stirling, Azam Khan, and Jordan Thompson in his two overs.
Chamika Karunaratne removed Kieron Pollard and it was Muhammed Waseem (36* of 16 balls) who counter-attacked in the middle phases and made use of the floating powerplay against the bowling of Karim Janat. With 6 runs needed from the last 2 overs, the equation emerged out to be too easy for the New York Strikers to pump themselves through to the Finals.

4 FOURRRRR!!!!!!!!! That's it!!!!! The Strikers qualify for this year's final with that shot from Akeal. Short and slower on the off stump, Hosein climbed over it and slashed it past the man at extra cover within the ring and earned four runs to take his team home. The Morrisville Samp Army will be waiting for their second shot to qualify for the finals as they will take on the loser of the Eliminator in Qualifier 2.
8.2 C Karunaratne to M Waseem
1 Bouncer at his shoulders, Waseem just guides it to the man at deep backward square leg for a single.
8.1 C Karunaratne to A Hosein
1 Back of a length and slower on the middle stump, pushed by Akeal to covers for a single.

7.5 S Cottrell to R Khan
W WICKETTTT!!!!!!! Efffective you have to say. Full and outside off once again, Rashid looks to slice it again but only gets and outside edge to the keeper. Rashid Khan walks back to the pavilion as Charles takes an easy catch.
