Match Report: Omarzai Strikes Again
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 wide is a ball bowled too far from the batter; it gives the batting side a run and must be bowled again.
United Tigers' Innings: Omarzai's Late Charge
Bulls captain Kieron Pollard won the toss and chose to bowl, and Mohammad Amir removed Joe Clarke with the second ball. Fakhar Zaman (20 off 12) and Avishka Fernando (12) hit back with 42 off 18 balls, but Sunil Narine removed both in the fourth over, and the Tigers were 45 for 3.
Iftikhar Ahmed (14 off 7) and Azmatullah Omarzai added 33, before Mohammad Wasim Jr took two wickets in the seventh over, removing Iftikhar and Abbas Afridi. At 82 for 5, the Bulls were on top.
Omarzai changed that. He and Faheem Ashraf added 41 off 16 balls, with Omarzai scoring 29 of them off just 8. He finished on 48 not out off 19, with five sixes, and the Tigers reached 126 for 6. Their total included 16 extras, among them 13 wides.
UAE Bulls' Chase: Tariq Does It Again
Awais Ali trapped Aneurin Donald lbw in the first over, but Andre Fletcher (19 off 14) and Khawaja Nafay added 55, before Odean Smith bowled Fletcher.
The Bulls needed 66 from 26 balls when Pollard joined Nafay, and the captain hit 19 off 11. But Usman Tariq, who took two wickets in two balls against the Arabian Aces, did it again. He had Pollard caught by Faheem and Sunil Narine caught first ball, and the Bulls were 87 for 4 with 10 balls left. Nafay finished on 48 not out, but the Bulls ended 25 runs short.
Turning Point: Omarzai and Faheem's Stand
At 82 for 5 after seven overs, the Bulls were on top. Omarzai and Faheem's 41 off 16 balls lifted the Tigers to 126, and the Bulls never got close.
