Player of the Match: Akif Javed
Time for the post-match presentations.
9:18 PM IST, 7:48 PM LOCAL TIME: A chase that started with belief, turned chaotic in the middle, and finished with heartbreak at the end. Ajman Titans have pulled off a brilliant defense of 109 and stunned a Deccan Gladiators batting lineup full of power, pedigree, and reputation. The bowlers were disciplined, the fielding was sharp, and the pressure never once faded. Gladiators kept losing momentum, losing wickets, and eventually lost the match by 21 runs. One team kept their plans simple. The other lost its rhythm. And in a format where chaos rules, discipline won.
Chasing 110, both openers looked aggressive from ball one. Russell smashed a couple of boundaries and even survived a dropped catch, but only to hit it straight to mid-off later. But Akif Javed did not just dismiss Russell, as he cleaned up Stoinis on the very next ball. Two wickets. Two balls. Momentum flipped. Pooran then walked in and tried to rebuild with TKC, who was holding one end. They looked calm. They found boundaries. And at 61/2, the chase looked alive and steady. But cricket, especially in T10, loves quick plot twists, and Javed returned to remove Pooran, stamping Titans back into control.
Then came the collapse. Laurie Evans entered as an impact-sub but exited via a run-out after a miscommunication. Moments later, David Wiese was trapped LBW by Piyush Chawla. Suddenly, the score read 64/4, then 64/5, and the chase was sliding downhill. But TKC wasnāt done, as he fought, stayed, and struck timely boundaries off Akram to keep hopes alive. The equation dropped. The heartbeat rose. With 30 needed off the last 12 balls, belief was still breathing. Tense. Tight. Alive.
But Zaman Khan bowled an outstanding penultimate over, giving away only five runs. The Gladiators then needed 25 off the final six deliveries, and the Titans controlled the moment beautifully. Akif Javed ended with 3 wickets, Chawla bounced back after a poor first over, and everyone chipped in at key intervals. TKC top-scored with 32 off 23, but wickets kept falling. A chase that once looked possible finished short. Very short.
Earlier, the Titans posted 109/6, and that total now feels golden. The start was bright - 15 runs off the first over, but Luke Wood tied things up with a two-run second over. Noor Ahmad removed Donald, and by six overs, Titans were only 44/3 with Rossouw and Clarke gone too. But momentum shifted in the 7th over when Jake Ball was hammered for 21 runs, and then the floating powerplay over, bowled by Luke Wood, leaked 19 more. Moeen Aliās 31(12) and Halesā 25(18) powered the late surge. Noor Ahmad finished with 3 wickets, but 109 was always going to test nerves, and oh, it did.
