6:45 PM IST, 5:15 PM Local Time | UAE Bulls breeze through the chase to book their spot in the Final against Aspin Stallions! They defeat a hapless Quetta Qavalry by 7 wickets! Tim David scored the quickest half-century of this season to complete a remarkable chase!
UAE Bulls won the toss and elected to field first, and what a decision it turned out to be! On the back of a cracking first over from Mohammad Rohid Khan, where he dismissed Muhammad Waseem, Evin Lewis, and Liam Livingstone, UAE Bulls restricted Quetta Qavalry to a below-par score of 104/8 in their 10 overs.
Jason Holder and Andries Gous scored 25 runs off 14 balls each to share the top scorer spot for Quetta Qavalry. Mohammad Rohid Khan finished with 2/13 from his 2 overs, and Qais Ahmed decimated the middle order with 3/21 from his 2 overs. Fazalhaq Farooqi and Junaid Siddique picked up a solitary wicket each.
Come the chase, Mohammad Amir produced a double-wicket second over to send Salt and Powell back to the hut. However, James Vince and Tim David ensured that UAE Bulls did not fumble this chase with a 56-run partnership for the third wicket.
Jason Holder dismissed James Vince for 37 runs off 19 balls, and with still a lot to do, Quetta were hoping. Enter Tim David, the powerful Aussie smashed 35 runs off Khuzaima Tanveer's over to break the back of this chase, score his half-century, and help his team over the finish line with an unbeaten 57 runs off 18 balls! UAE Bulls reached the target with 10 balls to spare!
Quetta Qavalry lose 2 on the bounce to exit the tournament at the penultimate hurdle. UAE Bulls are in the finals! They will celebrate a little, but focus on the final against Aspin Stallions as we near the end of Abu Dhabi T10 2025!
