New York Strikers: It was an impeccable bowling effort from New York Strikers that saw them earn their third consecutive win in the seventh edition of Abu Dhabi T10. Defending a modest total of 98, spinners Chamika Karunaratne and Akeal Hosein took three wickets each for the Strikers and set their side up for the win. New York bowled out Delhi Bulls for just 31 runs, the lowest total in the T10 history to climb to the top of the table.

Speaking after the match, Karunaratne, who recorded figures of 6/3 and was named the Player of the Match for the second time in the edition said, “I am very happy to win the Man of the Match again. I have been working hard this season. I almost got a hat-trick. I will keep trying - and hopefully, one day it will happen. Rovman and Gurbaz batted well to set us up. The last two overs were crucial for us with the bat. A score of 85-90 was good on that wicket. It was good bowling from everyone as well. It was a team effort and everyone supported each other."

Akeal, who started the Strikers' bowling attack also recorded figures of 7/3 on the day and picked the crucial wickets of Johnson Charles, James Vince, and Usman Khan. The left-arm spinner spoke after the match and said that he is looking to repeat his performances from last season.
