Abu Dhabi T10 League: Deccan Gladiators outplayed Morrisville Samp Army in all departments of the game to win an entertaining final by eight wickets and emerged as champions of the Abu Dhabi T10 for the third time here on Monday.
The Gladiators came up with a disciplined bowling performance to restrict Samp Army to 104/7 in 10 overs with Faf du Plessis blazing to a 23-ball 34. Chasing 105, the Gladiators unleashed some fireworks and gunned down the target by 8 wickets and with more than three overs to spare.
They were off to a flying start as their opener and England batter Tom Kohler-Cadmore took on skipper Rohan Mustafa in the very first over. Cadmore smashed four fours on the trot to begin the chase on a rousing note while his partner and skipper Nicholas Pooran joined the party soon.
