Northern Warriors thrash Team Abu Dhabi by 10 wickets at Abu Dhabi T10

Northern Warriors made it two wins from two with an emphatic 10-wicket win over Team Abu Dhabi at the Abu Dhabi T10 on Thursday.

After electing to field first and restricting Abu Dhabi to 103-7 at Zayed Cricket Stadium, Warriors openers Kennar Lewis and Hazratullah Zazai powered their team over the line with an over to spare.

Both the openers' knocks came off 27 balls with Zazai's 52 including five fours and three sixes while Lewis's 46 contained five fours and two sixes.

Zazai reached his half century by hoisting the Abu Dhabi captain Dwaine Pretorius over the long-off fence for a maximum.

Abu Dhabi enjoyed a decent start to their innings but lost four wickets in two overs to slump from 64-1 after six overs to 79-5.

Opener Tom Banton top scored with 33 off 17 balls, while Warriors captain Angelo Mathews, who grabbed a hat-trick in their opening win over Morrisville Samp Army, conceded just three runs in his first over finishing with 1-13.

It means Team Abu Dhabi have now lost two out of two following their defeat against Chennai Braves.

“Our bowlers came back strongly after the first two overs to restrict a strong Abu Dhabi batting line-up to just over hundred, and then our two openers Kennar and Hazrat were really outstanding tonight,” Mathews said.

“I come to bowl during the floating overs, and it has gone quite well for me but there are lots of other bowlers to get the job done. Two wins under the belt is a good start but we still have a long way to go in the tournament. Hopefully we can continue to take the momentum forward.”

In the second game, Morrisville Samp Army secured their first win with a nervy seven-wicket triumph over Chennai Braves.

The Braves, who were in desperate trouble at 27-6, managed to drag their total to 97-7 with Charith Asalanka top scoring with 31 from 13 balls, while UAE all-rounder Ayaan Khan (19 not out) and Banuka Rajapaksa (15 not out) chipping in with useful contributions down the order.

The Samp Army openers Andries Gous (43 off 26) and Faf du Plessis (31 off 16) enjoyed a flying start sharing a 59-run partnership in 34 balls, but the game took a sudden turn when two wickets fell in eight deliveries.

First South African opener Du Plessis fell to Afghanistan all-rounder Mohammad Nabi, then captain Moeen Ali was bowled by Junaid Siddique.

With an over left and the score at 90-3, Gous was narrowly run out looking for a quick single after a fine piece of fielding by Braves captain Charith Asalanka 

Needing eight runs off pacer Obed McCoy, Najibullah Zadran hit the penultimate ball to the midwicket boundary for six meaning Samp Army had secured victory with a ball to spare.

Strait of Hormuz

Fujairah is a crucial hub for fuel storage and is just outside the Strait of Hormuz, a vital shipping route linking Middle East oil producers to markets in Asia, Europe, North America and beyond.

The strait is 33 km wide at its narrowest point, but the shipping lane is just three km wide in either direction. Almost a fifth of oil consumed across the world passes through the strait.

Iran has repeatedly threatened to close the strait, a move that would risk inviting geopolitical and economic turmoil.

Last month, Iran issued a new warning that it would block the strait, if it was prevented from using the waterway following a US decision to end exemptions from sanctions for major Iranian oil importers.

10 tips for entry-level job seekers
  • Have an up-to-date, professional LinkedIn profile. If you don’t have a LinkedIn account, set one up today. Avoid poor-quality profile pictures with distracting backgrounds. Include a professional summary and begin to grow your network.
  • Keep track of the job trends in your sector through the news. Apply for job alerts at your dream organisations and the types of jobs you want – LinkedIn uses AI to share similar relevant jobs based on your selections.
  • Double check that you’ve highlighted relevant skills on your resume and LinkedIn profile.
  • For most entry-level jobs, your resume will first be filtered by an applicant tracking system for keywords. Look closely at the description of the job you are applying for and mirror the language as much as possible (while being honest and accurate about your skills and experience).
  • Keep your CV professional and in a simple format – make sure you tailor your cover letter and application to the company and role.
  • Go online and look for details on job specifications for your target position. Make a list of skills required and set yourself some learning goals to tick off all the necessary skills one by one.
  • Don’t be afraid to reach outside your immediate friends and family to other acquaintances and let them know you are looking for new opportunities.
  • Make sure you’ve set your LinkedIn profile to signal that you are “open to opportunities”. Also be sure to use LinkedIn to search for people who are still actively hiring by searching for those that have the headline “I’m hiring” or “We’re hiring” in their profile.
  • Prepare for online interviews using mock interview tools. Even before landing interviews, it can be useful to start practising.
  • Be professional and patient. Always be professional with whoever you are interacting with throughout your search process, this will be remembered. You need to be patient, dedicated and not give up on your search. Candidates need to make sure they are following up appropriately for roles they have applied.
