Morrisville Samp Army skipper Rohan Mustafa chose to bowl first after winning the toss in Qualifier 2 at Abu Dhabi. The Samp Army endured a challenging opening over as Delhi Bulls’ openers James Vince and Tom Banton hammered 15 runs. However, momentum shifted in the second over when Amir Hamza struck twice and dismissed Banton and Shadab Khan in quick succession. The trouble deepened for Delhi in the third over as Imad Wasim removed Vince, leaving the Bulls reeling. Despite the early setbacks, Rovman Powell and Tim David steadied the innings and built a crucial partnership that took the score to 53/3 at the halfway mark. Just as the duo seemed to be gaining control, Isuru Udana broke the stand by dismissing David. The Sri Lankan pacer maintained an excellent rhythm and later claimed the wicket of Nikhil Chaudhary to finish with a three-wicket haul. With wickets falling at regular intervals, the Delhi Bulls struggled to build momentum and were restricted to 89/7 in their allotted 10 overs.
In their chase, the Morrisville Samp Army got off to a solid start, with openers Faf du Plessis and Charith Asalanka adding 10 runs in the first over. However, Muhammad Rohid Khan delivered a peach of a delivery in the second over to dismiss the Proteas veteran. Despite the setback, Andries Gous joined Asalanka at the crease, and the pair took the team to 35/1 after three overs, leaving the Army in a comfortable position with just 55 runs needed from the remaining seven overs. The 32-run partnership between Gous and Asalanka came to an end in the fourth over when Shadab Khan removed the Sri Lankan batter. Trouble deepened for the Samp Army in the sixth over as Fazalhaq Farooqi dismissed skipper Rohan Mustafa, reducing the equation to 36 runs off the final four overs. Sensing an opportunity, the Delhi Bulls intensified their efforts, taking crucial wickets when Salman Irshad dismissed the well-set Gous, followed immediately by Karim Janat’s departure on the next ball. Just when the game seemed to be slipping away, Jack Taylor stepped up with a match-winning cameo, smashing 17 runs off 10 balls under pressure. His crucial knocks ensured Morrisville Samp Army secured a thrilling victory by five wickets, propelling them into the finals.
