West Indies all-rounder Andre Russell smashed a scintillating unbeaten 90 to fire Deccan Gladiators to the capture of the Abu Dhabi T10 with a commanding 56-run victory over Dwayne Bravo’s Delhi Bulls yesterday.
Opening the innings at Zayed Cricket Stadium after Gladiators were asked to bat first in the final, Russell lashed nine fours and seven sixes in a Man-of-the-Match 32-ball knock which lifted his side to 159 without loss of their ten overs.
He was partnered in the unbroken opening stand by Englishman Tom Kohler-Cadmore whose 59 not out came from 28 deliveries and included three fours and five sixes.
