KnightRiders vs Warriorz, 25th Match at Abu Dhabi, ILT20, Dec 22 2025 - Match Result

What an enthralling contest! Pitched up on fifth stump line and there is enough room for him to open the face of the blade and calmly pat it to short cover, heads down the pitch for a quick single and gets his team over the line, came down to fine margins but what a game of cricket!

Overmatched wide of off, opens the face and drives it out to wide mid-off, only a single. It has come down to the final delivery, somebody in the comments asked for a low-scoring thriller, you got your wish

Bowls it shortish and outside leg-stump, saw him sashaying across his stumps and tries to adjust, overcooked it and now he has given an extra run and a delivery. 2 off 2 required

Bowls a cunning slower tennis ball bumper and bewilders him, wanted to drag it across the line and does not connect

pitched a low full-toss wide of off, thrashes it along the carpet to deep backward point for a couple of runs

Super Over, anyone?

Hits a fuller-length, almost a Yorker, opens the face and nurdles it out to deep point. Oh, no! He oversteps and that could be it. A cardinal sin at this stage of the game

Good length and angled wide of off, forced to mid-off, only a single

The pendulum swing again! Over the wicket, fuller and angled across off, he read it so early, shuffled across and ramps it away fine of AJ to earn a boundary, that will calm the nerves

Connects this time and perishes in the process! Pace-off shortish delivery outside off, tries to break the jail and larrups it straight to the man at mid-off, now then 12 needed off 6. All credit to ADKR captain for bowling a heck of an over

That is sensational, bringing all his experience to the fore, slower rising ball meandering outside off, tries to flay an upper-cut and is unable to lay bat on it

Around and landed on a length or thereabouts, straightening down the line middle and off, solid back-foot punch to the bowler and tenses faces in the Warriorz dug-out, Sikandar cannot see it anymore

This time he connects on the pace-off shorter ball wide of off, lifts it out to deep midwicket, fell short of Rutherford

That's a good start, two dots in a row, another wide yorker and he just stands there like a spectator and doesn't have a go at it

Around the wicket, back of the hand slower one inside the marker by a few inches, tries to slice and doesn't connect

Pace-off good length delivery on leg-stump, he had generate all the power and ends up flicking it straight to the man at deep backward square, ball deviated from leg-stump, Rutherford takes a nifty catch charging in from the rope

high full-toss at off, charges and clubs it out to deep cover-point, Stone dives to prevent a four

Full and slanting away towards fifth stump line, opens the face to whisk it away and does not connect

That will do nicely for Warriorz to get way ahead in the game, spotted the slower one from a mile and skipped down the surface for a majestic straight six over long-off, lots of power behind that shot! brings down the equation to run a ball

Lands it full and just outside off, opens the face and stabs it out into the covers, was in the air for a while

Raza chips the slower leg-cutter on a length outside off towards midwicket, only a single. Raza has been in these situations many times so he knows how to get his team over the line, key man for Warriors
