Chennai Brave Jaguars vs Team Abu Dhabi

9.07pm  With the wickets not coming their way, the task kept getting difficult for Chennai Brave Jaguars. Nuwan Thushara, skipper Thisara Perera and impact player Garuka Sanketh bowled really well, but there was nothing much to speak in the wickets' column. Maybe, if they had got a few wickets, this match might have ended up being closer.

9.05pm  Phil Salt was looking at his absolute best, carrying his form from the Caribbean and because he was there, Bairstow's struggles did not quite come to light. There was a slight moment, when Thisara Perera was bowling, trying to starve Salt of strike and runs, but eventually, thre Abu Dhabi skipper soaked it all up and wrapped up the victory, staying unbeaten on 43.

9.04pm  104 always looked a touch difficult to defend and Chennai needed early wickets. They did not quite get that, albeit Michael Pepper departed in the 4th over. By then, the score had already crossed 30. Jonny Bairstow then joined Phil Salt and their 48-run stand made the deal quite comfortable.

9.03pm  Job comfortably done by Abu Dhabi. They were already in third place before this game and they stay where they where, but improve their net run rate slightly. Sadly, for Chennai Brave Jaguars, their caravan ends in this tournament, in terms of qualifying for the playoffs. They still have a couple of games to play for pride.

8.58pm  Okay. An over left for formality. Dan Lawrence to bowl.
