Chris Gayle’s pulverized the Maratha Arabians bowling attack to
crack an unbeaten 84 off 22 balls with powerfully executed nine sixes and six
boundaries to steer Team Abu Dhabi to a nine-wicket win in the second match of
the third day of the Super League in the Abu Dhabi T10 tournament at the Abu
Dhabi Zayed Cricket Stadium.
Chasing Maratha Arabians’ moderate total of 97 for 4, Gayle helped his team
reach the target in 5.3 overs and win the match with 27 balls to spare.
The Universe Boss dominated the attack. He was in his elements from the first
over, ravaging any error in line and length from the bowlers. All his sixes and
boundaries were hit so effortlessly that it was a treat to watch his power and
panache. Incidentally, 78 runs out of his 84 came through boundaries. He
reached his half century in 12 balls and equaled the fastest half century in
T10 history held by Mohammad Shahzad for Rajputs in the 2018 edition.
