That's that from this contest on Day 2, it was a triple header today and Team Abu Dhabi are looking very ominous with two strong performances so far and they top the table with a huge net run-rate. We are back again with another triple header and don't forget to tune into Sportskeeda tomorrow to catch all the live action, until next time this is, Pradeep Somashekar on behalf of Bala signing off, good night, take care!
DJ Bravo(Captain of Delhi Bulls) says, not bad, very good start, back to back wins, very happy with the team effort, we can't get complacent. Games come quick and fast, we enjoyed the short celebration, we will be back again tomorrow. Play fearless, we represent a franchise, play the game the right way with right intensity and let the results takes care of it itself. These guys are talented, just need to express themselves and they have all the freedom to do that.
Adil Rashid has been adjudged the Man of the Match for his splendid spell of bowling[2-0-7-2]

Rashid
says, I don't think the surface was much different, I thought we bowled exceptionally well, the seamers setup the game up top for me to come in and the other bowlers to peg them back even further. That's T10 cricket, somedays the bowlers get clobbered and somedays the bowlers dominate.
Delhi Bulls won the game by 6 wickets and go top of the table with a massive net run-rate!

Performances doesn't come clinical than that. Delhi Bulls stormed through to their second victory, it's back to back wins for them. Bowlers did a wonderful job earlier on to restrict Tigers to a paltry total of 69 which is the lowest ever in the Abu Dhabi T10 league. 

Faf du Plessis have a lot to think about and answer a lot of questions. Tigers needs to address their batting woes for now, the bowling did handle a bit in this tricky chase but they never had the runs needed to defend. 

Tigers started off brilliantly though as Gurbaz was sent packing by Wood of the first over and Rossouw then follows him later on in the second over. Rutherford comes in and goes bang, bang later on and then took the game away in no time, smashes Udana for 20 in a single over which almost sealed the game for them. 

Rutherford then perishes by a slower one from Faulkner but Morgan and Bravo hold their ends to take the team through to pick up another win this tournament. Tigers go back to the drawing board and then assess what went wrong tonight and then come back a better side the next game.
That's that, Morgan runs it away for a boundary and Bulls finish their second victory and they get four points overall as Delhi Bulls enforced complete dominance over the Bangla Tigers who have a lot to think about here!
8.1 Luke Wood to Eoin Morgan, FOUR! Not the most convincing of shots, but that should do it! Good length ball outside off. Morgan tries to steer it with the open face of the bat and gets an outside edge that races away to the thirdman boundary
Wood comes back!
Morgan gets a boundary for a long time as he swats Udana straight down the ground and smoked for a maximum right at the end and they just need three runs to win this contest.

7.3 Isuru Udana to Dwayne Bravo, deceives the batter with the slow good length delivery going across. Bravo tries to have a whack but gets beaten
7.2 Isuru Udana to Eoin Morgan, quick short delivery angling in. Morgan is late on the pull and miscues it to the vacant mid-on area
7.1 Isuru Udana to Eoin Morgan, FOUR! That boundary took some time coming. Slower ball ends up as a low full toss outside off. Morgan hits it straight back past the bowler and beats du Plessis at long-on
Udana comes back!
Both these batters are happy with nudging it around with few singles and doubles, that'll get the job done too, it's sensible way of doing things.
