Afridi Stars as United Tigers Stay Perfect in Abu Dhabi T10

United Tigers made it three wins from three in the Abu Dhabi T10, cruising past Royal Desert Champions by nine wickets with 18 balls to spare at Zayed Cricket Stadium.

Abbas Afridi was named Player of the Match after taking three for ten from his two overs, while Awais Ali struck with the very first ball of the match to remove Royal Desert Champions captain Nicholas Pooran.

The Champions were restricted to just 81 for nine, with Muhammad Waseem top-scoring on 24, before captain Fakhar Zaman smashed an unbeaten 45 off 21 balls to finish the chase at 84 for one in seven overs.

Tigers top the table

The win keeps the Tigers top of the standings with six points and a net run rate of +3.930, while the Champions remain bottom after losing all three of their matches.

Afridi sets the tone

Afridi's three-wicket burst, backed by a sharp catch in the field, broke the game open early and left the Champions with no way back on a night when everything went the Tigers' way.
