Aspin Stallions kept their playoff push on track with a confident six-wicket win over the UAE Bulls, climbing to second on the Abu Dhabi T10 table. The Bulls posted a strong total, but the Stallions’ top order came out firing and chased it down with three balls to spare.

The Bulls were lifted early by Phil Salt, who smashed 44 off just 17 deliveries, helping build a rapid 58-run partnership with Tom Moores. Tim David then took over the scoring duties, blasting 35 off 15 and combining well with Romario Shepherd to guide the Bulls to 119/5 from their 10 overs.

Chasing 120, the Stallions wasted no time. Rahmanullah Gurbaz (29 off 10) and Andre Fletcher (30 off 15) set the tone with clean, aggressive hitting and a 46-run stand. Even after the pair fell, Aspin stayed in control, thanks in large part to Ben Cutting.

Cutting turned the chase on its head with a massive 25-run seventh over, cracking three fours and four sixes on his way to a rapid 39 off 18. With the equation down to single digits, Sam Billings kept calm in the final over and guided the Stallions home to a composed win.

In the day’s second fixture, the Northern Warriors couldn’t match that firepower.

Needing a win to keep their qualification hopes alive, the Warriors were restricted to a modest 80/4 against the already-eliminated Royal Champs. The innings never really broke free, with Daniel Sams starring for the Champs with superb figures of 3/12.

Johnson Charles (20) and Shimron Hetmyer (22) tried to rebuild after early wickets, but boundaries were hard to come by. A brief burst from Hetmyer offered hope, but Sams’ return ended both set batters and halted any momentum. Odean Smith added a late six, but the Warriors finished well short of what they needed, leaving their playoff fate uncertain.
