During the Chennai Braves vs. Northern Warriors match in the current 2023 Abu Dhabi T10 league, former Team India batsman Abhimanyu Mithun delivered a massive no ball.
The event happened during the Chennai Braves’ run attempt during the fifth over. Although Mithun delivered a beautiful yorker that sailed over Charith Asalanka’s defence and struck the stumps, it was a big no-ball that produced a single bye. To lead his team across the final line, the hitter continued to be undefeated. Mithun faced harsh criticism on social media due to his massive no ball during the Abu Dhabi T10 League after the event.
In the Abu Dhabi 10 League on Saturday, Sikandar Raza, Charith Asalanka, as well as Stephen Eskinazi contributed to a strong batting effort that enabled Chennai Brave to defeat Northern Warriors with five wickets. Raza hit three maximums along with a boundary in only 10 balls while chasing 107. Eskinazi and Asalanka both contributed 22 points.
With stats of 2/11, Abhimanyu Mithun was the standout performer with the ball. Meanwhile, James Neesham and Angelo Mathews were only able to claim one wicket each as they were able to perform admirably in the innings.
What happened in the first innings of the match?
The Warriors scored 106/3 in their allocated 10 overs earlier in the day during the first innings. With an amazing knock of 54 from 32 deliveries, featuring one six and seven boundaries, Hazratullah Zazai scored the most. With 24 runs off 10 deliveries, comprising one maximum as well as three fours, Adam Hose remained unblemished. For the Brave, Mohammad Nabi claimed two wickets, while Junaid Siddique was able to claim one wicket.
With the victory, Brave moved up to sixth position during the 2023 Abu Dhabi T10 league overall standings, while Warriors, who had only won twice in four games, fell to fifth. On December 6, the Braves will play the New York Strikers, and the Warriors will play the Delhi Bulls.
