CB vs TAD Match Highlights: Chennai Braves Lose Batting
Abu Dhabi T10 League: Chennai Braves started their innings on a very low note. They lost their first 2 batters on the score of 0 and the third one on just 1. Lawrence, Malan, and Raza all got out on 0 runs. It was a pretty bad start for the Braves.

Almost halfway into the team’s score was 25 for 4. Aravind was the only middle-order batter who remained not out but his slow innings didn’t help the team much.

The team lost its first 2 wickets at 0 and the 3rd one at the score of 1. Alex Hales, and James Vince scored 0. Brandon King got out on 1. Everything just went the same way as in the previous innings. But the captain Chris Lynn was the game changer for Team Abu Dhabi. He did not leave the middle until the end. Him and his partner Fabian Allen showed calm and went on to finish the chase with 8 balls to spare. Chris Lynn scored 39 off 25 while Fabian Allen scored 31 off 21.
Patrick Dooley was the man to bring scare for the home team. He took 2 wickets in his first over on back-to-back balls. Sam Cook was the only other wicket-taker. He removed King from the middle.
The chase did not take much effort in terms of power-hitting because the score was decent on a good batting pitch. The early fall of wickets was a concern for TAD but a partnership between Lynn and Allen saved them. They now have a 3-0 record against Chennai in their favor.
