Commentary

That's it from us in terms of coverage of cricket for the day. It's a new day already, and we have a lot of cricketing action lined up for you, including coverage of the 2023 Indian Premier League's first qualifier between the Chennai Super Kings and Gujarat Titans! Keep an eye on our tabs for the same. This is Rajarshi, signing off on behalf of Pragadeesh. Good night!

Match summary:

Abu Dhabi win by 5 wickets with

Akif Raja 27(14) | Zeeshan Ali 3/16 (2)
Ashwanth Valthapa Chidambaram 33(13) | Sabir Rao 2/13 (2)

For all the batting firepower that they had, it was the all-round skills of Akif Raja that won Abu Dhabi a thrilling encounter to close the day off! The tall left-handed bowling all-rounder looked ungainly and unconvincing for most part of his 14-ball stay out there, but he somehow managed to get the boundaries, and ended up landing the final blow, dispatching Shetty over the ropes to help Abu Dhabi gain the points off the final game of the day!

Sabir Rao had Abu Dhabi reeling in the first over, extracting some movement and steep bounce off the track to reduce them to 3 for 2 in the first over. Abdul Muqtadar Babar followed soon after, smashing a full toss down the throat of the man at long on, and Abu Dhabi were in all sorts early on in the run-chase.

But then, a brief spell of counter-attack from Uzair Bacha and skipper Ali Abid saw Abu Dhabi recover from a slump and roar back in the contest. Both the batters seized the opportunity to go after the leg break of Adithya Shetty, carting him for 20 in his first over. That played a major part in the momentum being shifted, but soon after, both the batters departed in quick succession.

A second defining partnership ensued, this one between Osama Hassan Shah and Akif Raja. Raja, sent up the order to wield his willow a bit, didn't quite middle it enough, but somehow managed to find the boundaries! Osama was the aggressor among the two at first, but soon after, it was Raja who started to find the boundaries more often, he was the one who got the equation in Abu Dhabi's favour going into the final over, and fittingly, it was him who struck the winning runs.

9.3 Adithya Shetty to Raja Akif, SIX! Abu Dhabi open their campaign on a winning note. Half-volley on off-stump, Akif slog sweeps it over wide long-on for a maximum

9.2 Adithya Shetty to Raja Akif, back of a length across off-stump, punched wide of the sweeper cover for a couple

9.1 Adithya Shetty to Osama Hassan Shah, comes down the track and drives the length delivery towards long-off for a single

Adithya Shetty (1-0-20-0) is back into the attack

A hint of tension was starting to creep in among the Abu Dhabi camp, before Raja top-edged the final delivery of the over for six! 5 needed off 6, advantage Abu Dhabi going into the last over!

8.6 Sabir Rao to Raja Akif, SIX! Sabir bangs it short and tried to attack the ribcage of Akib but he was equal to the task. He uses the pace and helps it over fine leg for a maximum

8.5 Sabir Rao to Osama Hassan Shah, slow delivery into the surface, Osama play a wild swing across but didn't connect. They take a leg-bye

8.4 Sabir Rao to Osama Hassan Shah, slow delivery slanting across off-stump, Osama swings across but didn't get any contact

8.3 Sabir Rao to Raja Akif, slow delivery on a good length outside off-stump, Akif swings across but didn't get any contact. They take a bye

8.2 Sabir Rao to Raja Akif, FOUR! Back of a length, Akif swings across but skews an outside edge and the ball flies over the keeper for a boundary

8.1 Sabir Rao to Raja Akif, pitched up on a fuller length outside off-stump, Akif comes down the track to swing away from the body but didn't get any contact

Sabir Rao (1-0-3-2) is back into the attack

Both these batters play out Tahir's final over with ease. 17 needed off the final two. Having taken the powerplay over this time, they should look to finish it this over itself!
