Our view
Emirates Eagles made a decent start with the bat, as Alex Hales and Kyle Mayers scored quickly in the opening overs. Mayers was the standout batter, scoring 56 off 29 balls and reaching his fifty in just 26 deliveries. However, after his dismissal at 85/3, the Eagles lost wickets in quick succession and could not maintain the same momentum. Alzarri Joseph's 18-run final over gave them a late push, but their total of 108/5 was not enough to put Arabian Aces under pressure.
Arabian Aces made the chase look effortless, thanks to an unbeaten 110-run opening partnership between Paul Walter and Tom Kohler-Cadmore. Walter was in outstanding form, smashing 82 off just 29 balls, including a fifty in 21 deliveries. Kohler-Cadmore supported him well with 26 off 12 balls. The pair attacked both Trent Boult and Tymal Mills, scoring 19 and 22 runs respectively in their overs. Walter finished the match with a six in the 6.5 over, helping Arabian Aces reach 110 without losing a wicket and secure a dominant 10-wicket victory.
