Our view
United Tigers set the tone with an aggressive batting display, finishing on 141/2. The 77-run partnership between Sahibzada Farhan and Joe Clarke provided a strong platform, while Azmatullah Omarzai added extra momentum with a quickfire 33 off just 9 balls. The 20-run overs against Hardus Viljoen and David Wiese also helped United Tigers push the total beyond 140, giving their bowlers a healthy cushion to defend.
Emirates Eagles started their chase strongly, reaching 71 in the first five overs. Alex Hales led the effort with 67 off 31 balls and shared a 74-run stand with Shimron Hetmyer. However, Hetmyer's dismissal at 95 put the chase under pressure, and the Eagles could not maintain the required scoring rate in the closing overs. United Tigers' ability to score more freely, especially through boundaries and sixes, proved decisive in their 22-run victory.
