Chris Woakes clean bowls Joe Clarke in the 1st over .

That was a putrid effort with the bat from Abu Dhabi being bowled out for 94 off 103 balls .

Sharjah win Game 25 by 7 wickets.

With 5 more games in the season:




Abu Dhabi all of a sudden look shaky for that 2nd spot as they dont have total destiny with 1 game remaining.

Standings:



Loser of Dubai v Desert Vipers cant finish higher than 4th


Winner of Gulf Giants v Abu Dhabi will finish in The Top 2.

 

[NYRB]

My observation of the ILT20 and SA20 going on at the same time, the intensity of the two comps are miles apart.

ILT20 feels like a few more players past their prime, whilst the SA20 has better atmosphere at the grounds as well as better players who care about winning for their cities/provinces.

 

[NYRB]
