ILT20: Abu Dhabi Knight Riders beat Gulf Giants by four wickets
The Abu Dhabi Knight Riders held their nerve to secure a well-earned four-wicket win over the Gulf Giants at the Zayed Cricket Stadium on Thursday. Openers Alex Hales (46 off 39) and Phil Salt (35 off 24) made light work of the run-chase, blazing to the target with four balls to spare and move up the points table to fourth place from sixth.
Needing 166 runs for the win, Salt and Hales set up a partnership of 61 runs in 44 balls. They were helped by a late flurry of runs from Sherfane Rutherford (30 off 22) and Andre Russell (21* off 13), who negated Tabraiz Shamsi’s three for 23. With the ball, Piyush Chawla took four wickets for 27 runs, which ensured Rahmanullah Gurbaz’s 72 off 45 balls for the Giants, including four fours and five sixes, went in vain.
