Zayed Cricket Stadium: Sharjah Warriors crashed before the might of table toppers MI Emirates and succumbed to an eight-wicket defeat in the 18th match of the ILT20 Season 2 at the Zayed Cricket Stadium on Friday.

Emirates displayed their bowling skills to restrict the Warriors to 129 through left-arm spinners Waqar Salamkheil (3-18) and Akeal Hoesin (2-20). They spun a web around Warriors’ batters to strangle their run flow, while experienced pacer Trent Boult chipped in with two wickets for 29.

Except for Johnson Charles, who hit 29 off 31 balls with three boundaries and a six, and Williams’ 35 off 25 balls with three boundaries and a six, none of the Warriors’ batters could rise to the challenge.
