Our view
Emirates Eagles put up a competitive total of 115/4, mainly thanks to an excellent innings from Shimron Hetmyer. After Kyle Mayers and Alex Hales gave the team a quick start, Hetmyer took charge and scored 65 off just 30 balls. He also built a useful 40-run partnership with Rovman Powell. The Eagles finished strongly, scoring 38 runs in the final two overs, but their total still needed a good bowling effort to defend.
Yas Lions lost three early wickets and were in a difficult position at 41/3, but Dasun Shanaka completely changed the game with his explosive 60 off 25 balls. He shared a 64-run partnership with Karim Janat, while the 25-run over from Tymal Mills put Yas Lions firmly in control. Shanaka was dismissed soon after reaching his fifty, but Jason Holder made sure there were no further delays by hitting the winning six. Yas Lions chased down the target in just 8.4 overs to secure a convincing six-wicket win.
