Moen Ali’s allround brilliance was the anchor of the Warrior’s juggernaut performance infront of a packed Providence stadium. After Imran Tahir won the toss and inserted the Royals to bat, Gudakesh Motie, Romario Shepherd and Ali justified his decision as they made early inroads into the Royals batting order.

Motie had the in form and dangerous Quinton de Kock caught and bowled to get the momentum going in the third over for a run a ball 15.
