Sunil Narine continues to make merry at the 2024 Abu Dhabi T10 League in the UAE. Mere days after getting retained by the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) franchise for IPL 2025, the West Indies T20 veteran delivered another match-winning spell for the New York Strikers, this time striking down Northern Warriors in match number 27 of the competition.

Leading the Strikers, Narine dismissed Warriors’ opener Finn Allen and number three batter Johnson Charles in his two-over spell, at an expense of just 16 runs. The delivery he sent down to Charles became one of the defining moments of the game, as it pushed the Warriors further back amidst their quick-scoring pursuit at Abu Dhabi’s Zayed Cricket Stadium.

Sunil Narine knocks over Johnson Charles

In the sixth over of the Northern Warriors innings, Sunil Narine sent down a peach of a delivery to knock over a well-set Johnson Charles. The West Indies star, batting at 20* from just 10 balls at the time, failed to read the spinner’s full and spinning delivery as the ball crashed on to his stumps.


Even though Sunil Narine picked up astonishing figures of 2-16, the Northern Warriors went on to haul 111-3 from their 10 overs after being invited to bat first. Sherfane Rutherford at number four cracked 46* of those runs from just 17 deliveries with two boundaries and five sixes.

Regardless, Narine’s batting drawcards chased down their 112-run target with nine wickets and two overs to spare. Opener Kusal Perera bludgeoned 74 unbeaten runs from just 27 balls with six boundaries and seven huge sixes to headline the run-chase and bag the ‘Player of the Match’ award.

With three wins and three defeats from six matches, Sunil Narine’s New York Strikers are now ranked fifth on the 2024 Abu Dhabi T10 points table. They will now face Delhi Bulls in a must-win game on November 29 at the same Abu Dhabi venue.
