MI Emirates returned to winning ways with a commanding seven-wicket victory over Abu Dhabi Knight Riders, moving to third in the ILT20 Season 4 table.
Fazalhaq Farooqi’s brilliant 4 for 14 and Kamindu Mendis’ three-wicket burst helped bowl out ADKR for just 122. In reply, Muhammad Waseem’s rapid 27 off 12 set the tone before Jonny Bairstow’s unbeaten 49 guided the chase comfortably. Tom Banton added a brisk 29 as MI Emirates cruised home in 13.5 overs.
Earlier, Alishan Sharafu and Sunil Narine resisted for ADKR, but regular wickets derailed their innings. Player of the Match: Kamindu Mendis.
