The New York Strikers: Morrisville Samp Army and New York Strikers won their respective matches to maintain the momentum in the 2024 Abu Dhabi T10 being played at the Zayed Cricket Stadium here on Saturday. The event in the shortest format of the game unveiled another nail-biting contest in which Morrisville Samp Army prevailed over UP Nawabs by three runs after defending a target of 101.

Opener Sharjeel Khan top-scored with 37 off 23 while Pakistan's Imad Wasim chipped in with a late surge and struck 15 not out off six balls to take his side to the 100-run mark. Binura Fernando, who hails from Sri Lanka, and England pacer Tymal Mills picked up two wickets each for their side.
