Naveen ul Haq rattled the Chennai Braves top order in a terrific opening over to set the platform for Team Abu Dhabi’s third consecutive win in the Abu Dhabi T10 on Wednesday.
The Afghan quick had Daniel Lawrence caught behind by Kamran Atta with his first delivery and bowled Sikandar Raza with the next at the Zayed Cricket Stadium.
Carlos Brathwaite denied Naveen his hat-trick by taking a single, but he struck with his final delivery to have Dawid Malan caught by Alishan Sharafu at cover to leave the Braves three wickets down for one run.
They never recovered from that eventful over and ended up with 71 for six after electing to bat first. Naveen finished with three for seven from his two overs while Andrew Tye returned with two for 14.
