Match Report: Walter Blows the Eagles Away
For readers new to the format: in T10 cricket, each team bats for just 10 overs (an over is six legal deliveries), and a whole match lasts about 90 minutes. A team wins by 10 wickets when it chases the target without losing a single batter, the biggest possible margin when chasing.
Emirates Eagles' Innings: Mayers Leads, Gleeson Strikes
Aces captain Moeen Ali won the toss and chose to bowl. Kyle Mayers and Alex Hales (18 off 11) put on 44 for the first wicket, before Alzarri Joseph bowled Hales in the fourth over. Andre Russell trapped captain Rovman Powell (7) lbw with the second ball of his only over, and the Eagles were 54 for 2.
Mayers kept going, hitting four fours and four sixes in 56 off 29. But Richard Gleeson took two wickets in the ninth over, having Mayers caught by Russell and bowling Shimron Hetmyer (4). Joseph then removed Chris Green, and the Eagles were 101 for 5. Kusal Perera hit two sixes in 18 not out off 5, and the Eagles finished on 108 for 5.
Arabian Aces' Chase: Walter's Six-Hitting
The Aces needed 109, and Paul Walter made it look easy. He and Tom Kohler-Cadmore took 24 from the first two overs, and Walter kept clearing the boundary. He hit nine sixes in all, and Tymal Mills' 1.5 overs went for 40 runs.
Walter finished on 82 not out off 29 balls, and Kohler-Cadmore on 26 not out off 12. Their unbroken stand of 110 off 41 balls won the game with 19 balls to spare.
Turning Point: Gleeson's Ninth Over
At 88 for 2 with 10 balls left, the Eagles were set for a strong finish. Gleeson's two wickets in three balls, removing Mayers and Hetmyer, slowed them down, and they added only 20 more. Walter then made sure 108 was nowhere near enough.
