Jason Holder Stars as Yas Lions Beat Arabian Aces by 29 Runs in Abu Dhabi T10

A superb all-round display from Jason Holder powered the Yas Lions to back-to-back wins in the Abu Dhabi T10, beating the Arabian Aces by 29 runs at Zayed Cricket Stadium on Wednesday night.

Holder smashed 21 from just seven balls to lift the Lions to 132 for 5, then struck with the ball to take 3 for 11 and wreck the Aces’ chase before it ever got going.

Chasing 133, the Aces lost in-form openers Paul Walter and Tom Kohler-Cadmore to Holder inside the second over, and despite Andre Russell’s 29 from 14 balls they could only manage 103 for 7.

Holder leads from the front

The West Indian all-rounder was named player of the match after doing the damage in both innings — quick runs at the death, then early wickets that left the Aces chasing the game from the second over.

A break before the next round

The T10 takes a break day before action resumes, with the Royal Desert Champions taking on the Yas Lions on Friday and the Arabian Aces facing the UAE Bulls later the same evening.
