Abu Dhabi T10: A power-packed performance from Team Abu Dhabi skipper Phil Salt helped his team make a scintillating start in Season 8 of Abu Dhabi T10 with a comprehensive victory over Ajman Bolts at Zayed Cricket Stadium here on Thursday.

Continuing with his roaring form in the white-ball format, the right-handed batter smashed 52 runs in 18 balls, helping Team Abu Dhabi to a memorable 9-wicket win over the new franchise on the block, Ajman Bolts.

The newcomers made a good start thanks to a fiery innings by young Sri Lankan batter Shevon Daniel, which put the hosts on the back foot. But Mark Adair and Zeeshan Naseer tested the opposition's top-order with short balls, and Ajman lost wickets in succession.
