Commentary

We now come to the conclusion of our coverage of the 2023 Abu Dhabi T10 for the day. We'll be back with three more matches tomorrow - keep an eye on our tabs for our coverage of the same, and of course, a whole lot more! This is Rajarshi, signing off on behalf of Pragadeesh. Good night - see you tomorrow!

Kieron Pollard, New York Strikers captain: It's difficult for guys coming from different parts of the world to come together straight away and then get into a tournament. Good run out for us, some of the guys got a good feel and understanding. T10, different format, new players and coaches, you have to get across to that. 2 good overs back-to-back brings you right back in the match. From Chamika, Akeal that was what brought us back in the match. Everyone is here because they have a skill that they can perform, the management put them in a position where they can, just give them the confidence to go out and express themselves. Won one, lost one - put together a couple of wins and let's see how it goes. Can only put up an honest day's work and see what we can do.

Chamika Karunaratne (Player of the Match) : I think the second wicket is special. I was practicing a lot and working hard. It pays off. I am always looking to make a difference. They were attacking us in the first few overs and then we came back really well

Match summary:

New York Strikers win by 8 wickets with 14 balls to spare

Kusal Perera 50*(20) | Chamika Karunaratne 3/22 (2)
Jordan Cox 38 (17) | Benny Howell 1/16 (1)

The Bangla Tigers were just about in the game in the initial stages, but having not been able to pick up wickets early on, it was a matter of time before the Strikers batters went on the charge and took the game away. That was exactly what transpired - Muhammad Waseem and Kusal Perera, having seen off their first few deliveries, took on the Tigers bowlers, and soon enough, the game was theirs!

The Tigers were in with a bit of hope once Benny Howell took a steepler to dismiss Gurbaz off Sams. Waseem and Perera took their time to settle in - they looked to get a boundary each over, and were in need of just one big over to turn the tide for good. That came along in the 4th over, when Sams sprayed one over waist height, and proceeded to concede 10 off the first delivery itself.

Waseem and Perera were on a rampage, and Perera kept it going after the departure of the former. The game was done and dusted within under a couple of overs as Perera brought up a 20-ball half century. Presentations to follow...

7.4 Joshua Little to Kusal Perera, SIX! GAME.SET.MATCH! Kusal Perera is in a brutal hitting mode and he finishes things emphatically. Another short delivery and Perera waits before slamming this to deep backward square leg for a maximum

7.3 Joshua Little to Kieron Pollard, back of a length, Pollard mistimes his shot and gets a single

7.2 Joshua Little to Kusal Perera, on a good length and it's been helped in front of square for a single

7.1 Joshua Little to Kusal Perera, FOUR! The Tigers continue to feed Perera. This is a short delivery and asking to be punished. He swivels and pulls it behind square for a boundary

Joshua Little (1-0-8-0) is back into the attack

That drop pretty much sums the day up for the Tigers! The game has slipped away from them - that was akin to salt being rubbed on a wound! 16 off the 7th - matter of formality now!

6.6 Ben Howell to Kusal Perera, DROPPED! Pitched up angling across off, sliced to Drakes at short third and he spills a sitter

6.5 Ben Howell to Kusal Perera, another reverse hit and another boundary. Perera's innovation is too hot to handle for the Tigers at the moment

6.4 Ben Howell to Kusal Perera, SIX! Short of a length angling in, Perera knocks the pull over deep square leg and gets a maximum

6.3 Ben Howell to Kusal Perera, FOUR! Full toss outside off, Perera reverses and helps it behind square for a boundary

6.2 Ben Howell to Kieron Pollard, quicker on a good length and it's been clipped in front of square for one

Kieron Pollard, RHB, comes to the crease

6.1 Ben Howell to Muhammad Waseem, BOWLED! Quicker on a good length, Waseem is beaten all ends up as the ball beats the outside edge and rattles the stumps

Muhammad Waseem b Benny Howell 41 (22b, 5x4, 2x6)

Benny Howell, right-arm medium, comes into the attack

The Strikers keep motoring along! Just over a run-a-ball needed now - with 8 wickets in hand, this ought to be a cinch for the Strikers!
