Sharjah,
After beginning their ILT20 Season 3 campaign with a thrilling win, the Sharjah Warriorz fell short against the Abu Dhabi Knight Riders at the Zayed Cricket Stadium on Wednesday. Chasing a target of 160 on a tricky pitch, the Warriorz fell short by 30 runs.
Against the Abu Dhabi Knight Riders, the New Zealand pace bowler Adam Milne had given the Sharjah Warriorz the ideal start, bagging a couple of wickets in his first spell, as he finished the match with figures of 2/37. The Kiwi pacer was asking plenty of questions off the ADKR batters.
Reflecting on his team’s bowling performance and the pitch conditions, he stated, “I think with the ball, we probably didn’t finish as well as we wanted to and then they (Abu Dhabi Knight Riders), bowled really well. It was still sort of moving around a little bit even in the second innings, so it wasn’t particularly easy batting conditions. We lost a number of wickets early which obviously stemmed the flow of runs and made it a difficult task towards the end.”
Milne reiterated that belief, highlighting the importance of winning as many games as possible. He said, “I think in any tournament, it’s important to win as many games as possible. You always want to win every game but you can’t always do that. Obviously, we had a good win in a tight game the other day. It’s nice to get over the line in those sorts of finishes, but we’ve got a couple of games coming up in Sharjah. So, if we can get a couple of wins there (in Sharjah) then it puts us right back where we need to be.”
