ILT20 | Vince-Smith outshines MI Emirates to extend winning streak in rare defense
Gulf Giants produced a rare win defending a total in Dubai with five out of their seven bowlers scalping wickets. Kieron Pollard and Jordan Thompson's late outbursts did take the MI Emirates close to the target but failed to overhaul as James Vince and Jamie Smith's fiery knocks set up for a win.
In reply, Kusal Perera and Muhammad Waseem gave a brisk start of 22 runs before the latter’ struggling knock came to an end in the fourth over. Andre Fletcher followed him back to the pavilion in the final over of the field restrictions with the Emirates ending the powerplay at 43/2. Subsequently, the Giants bowling unit produced a disciplined effort to peg back at the opposition every time they looked to stitch a partnership. With the scoreboard reading 72/5 after 10.4 overs, Kieron Pollard countered the Giants and tailored a 51-run sixth wicket partnership before the duo got dismissed in back-to-back overs during the slog overs. Although Jordan Thompson's (9-ball 28*) cameo did bring them close to the target it left them five runs short of the total.
Good win

Win is doubtful
No Nicky Pooran, No Tim David for the play offs, while the Lord Kieron Pollard is back as the captain, Lol MI Emirates are definitely not winning the DP ILT20 #ILT20 #MIEmirates

Youth at bench
#ILT20 I really shocked that 38/40 year pollard is playing t20 match while young generation is sitting on bench why??

Why such league teams are opting old age players like bravo,pollard etc
In this way young players don’t get chance 🤔
Its doubtful
Can Pollard atleast win this game? #ILT20
