Abu Dhabi, Nov 23, : The Deccan Gladiators won their third Abu Dhabi T10 win after defeating Northern Warriors six wickets to the run.David Wiese was a star with the bat and took his team home after he came in to bat after the Gladiators had lost four wickets within the first four overs.Wiese teamed up with Tom Moores, a left-handed batsman, to create a 45-run partnership that saw his team rise to second place in the points table. Deccan Gladiators were chasing a modest total 71 runs, but both openers were lost cheaply by Deccan Gladiators.Andre Russell came to the crease in the second.Russe’l was only able to stay at the crease for a short time, however, Imran Tahir caught him in his first over to reduce Deccan Gladiators’ to 20/3.Samit Patel conceded 11 runs in the fourth over for his first three deliveries, but he came back strong to remove Anwar Ali with his fifth delivery.
To make Deccan Gladiators’ chase a little more difficult, Tahir conceded only eight runs in the next over.
To give Tom Moores, left-handed, a crucial reprieve, Patel landed a difficult caught, bowled opportunity on his first ball of his next under.Wiese then hit Patel with two back-toback sixes, bringing down the total to 14 runs from the last four overs.
The right-hander won the chase with a huge hit over the midwicket boundary in the eighth over.
The Northern Warriors were struggling from the start on a pitch that made batting difficult.
After Abdul Shaqoor was caught in front of the wickets trying to catch Wahab Riaz with the first ball, the Warriors’ innings failed to get going.Wanindu Hasaranga was introduced to the attack.
He not only took a few wickets, but also stopped the run flow.The leg-spinner continued his good form and gave away just five runs in his two overs.
He also picked up the wickets Kennar Lewis (Kaunain Abbas) and Kaunain Abdulbas (Kaunain).Rowman Powell, the Warriors’ skipper, had a rare off-day with the bat.He lost to Tymal Mills after scoring 11 runs from 19 deliveries.
The team was staring down the barrel at the eighth over with only 44 runs on the board.
Samit Patel, Abhimanyu Mithun and some lusty hitting gave the innings some respectability.The pair added 36 runs in the last ball of the innings from 23 deliveries, taking Northern Warriors to 70 runs within their stipulated 10 overs.
Brief scores: Deccan Gladiators beat Northern Warriors 70/6 (Samit Paitel 21, Abhimanyu Mitchell 11*, Wanindu Hasaranga 2-5)
