Abu Dhabi T10 League: Rahmanullah Gurbaz powers Delhi Bulls to comfortable win over Northern Warriors

Rahmanullah Gurbaz's 116-run opening partnership with Luke Wright ensured that the Bulls had their noses in front throughout the chase and had minimum difficulty in notching their fourth win in the competition. 

Delhi Bulls romped home to a comfortable 8-wicket win over Northern Warriors to leapfrog to the second spot on the points table in the Abu Dhabi T10 on Thursday. Although Rovman Powell hit another half-century to help Warriors pose a challenging 128, it was Bulls opener Rahmanullah Gurbaz who stole the show with a stunning attack from the word go.

His 116-run opening partnership with Luke Wright ensured that the Bulls had their noses in front throughout the chase and had minimum difficulty in notching their fourth win in the competition. After his good show with the bat in the last fixture, Wright earned himself a promotion in the batting order and came out to open.

However, it was the 19-year-old Gurbaz who hogged the limelight by putting on display his entire range of shots against the Warriors bowling attack. Wright provided Gurbaz the perfect support, finding the boundary rope from time to time to take his team to 76 without any loss at the halfway mark.
