ILT20 Season 3: All-round Gulf Giants Overcome ADKR To Move Closer To Playoff Spot; MI Emirates Advance
Abu Dhabi Knight Riders: The Gulf Giants returned to winning ways as they coasted to a fantastic seven-wicket win over the Abu Dhabi Knight Riders in a Season 3 clash of the ILT20 at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium here on Saturday. The win sees the Gulf Giants climb the ladder to the third spot and does a world of good to their playoff chances. The result also means the MI Emirates joined the Desert Vipers as the two teams to have qualified for the playoffs.
Needing a win to stay alive in the competition, the Gulf Giants were brilliant with the ball as they stifled the Knight Riders for 123. In response, they rode on a superb 70-run partnership between Gerhard Erasmus and Tom Curran and some late pinch-hitting by Shimron Hetmyer to clinch the victory.
The Gulf Giants got off the blocks well in what appeared to be a straightforward chase. However, David Willey worked his magic on the ball as he picked up two wickets in as many deliveries to put the opposition in a worrisome spot. James Vince played the ball onto his stumps to depart for seven and Willey trapped Jordan Cox LBW on the next ball to give his side a fighting chance.
