ILT20 Season 3: Pooran’s Panache Helps MI Emirates Register Handsome Win Against Gulf Giants
Dubai International Stadium: The MI Emirates’ captain Nicholas Pooran was in the form of his life, guiding his side over the line against the Gulf Giants in the ILT20 Season 3 at the Dubai International Stadium here on Friday evening. The MI Emirates won the game by five wickets and registered their first season victory in Dubai. Skipper Pooran, who walked away with the Player of the Match award, finished unbeaten on 58 off 37 deliveries and made a huge impact in the match.
Earlier in the evening, the Gulf Giants, put into bat first, were off to a brisk start as openers Gerhard Erasmus and James Vince found the boundaries quite regularly. The duo threatened to go big before Akeal Hosein had Erasmus’ number for 12 in the third over.
That brought Jordan Cox to the middle alongside Vince, and the duo continued to score at a good clip, ending the powerplay with the score at 52/1. Cox and Vince attacked the bad balls, running hard between the wickets and putting on a 51-run stand. Alzarri Joseph though broke the partnership in the 10th over. Tom Curran added 13 to the cause, as Vince marched on and got to his fifty as well.
