Despite the challenging situation, skipper Ben Dunk and Sri Lankan all-rounder Thisara Perera contributed 16 and 19 runs respectively.

Although their performances showed promise, both players were unable to build substantial innings, and the Chargers struggled at 71-7 in 6.2 overs.

However, a late partnership between Phil Mustard and Sohail Tanvir nearly led the Texas Chargers to an improbable victory.

The match remained undecided until the final ball when the Chargers required seven runs. Unfortunately for them, Sohail Tanvir was caught out at the long-on boundary, providing relief to the New York Warriors.

Earlier in the day, the Texas Chargers won the toss and opted to bowl first. Sohail Tanvir’s two wickets in the seventh over put the Warriors in a challenging position at 58-5.

However, skipper Misbah-ul-Haq and Abdul Razzaq formed a dynamic partnership, smashing 57 runs in the final 21 balls of the innings.

Abdul Razzaq’s unbeaten knock of 35 runs from 14 balls, including four sixes and a boundary, played a pivotal role in boosting the Warriors’ total.
