Under a searing 40°C sun at Seven Districts Ground, Ajman, the Emirates D10 League 2026 delivered a nail‑biting finish as Abu Dhabi chased down Fujairah’s 126‑1 in just 8.5 overs. The decisive moment came when Rayan Khan smashed a rapid 64 off 24 balls, propelling Abu Dhabi to a 130‑3 victory and leaving the crowd roaring.
Match Summary
Fujairah won the toss and elected to bat, a decision that seemed logical on a flat pitch but soon turned into a high‑octane assault. Opening the innings, Zainullah Rehmani exploded for 65 off just 34 deliveries, anchoring the chase with a blend of power and precision. He was ably supported by Yayin Rai, who added a quickfire 41 off 24 balls, pushing Fujairah to a respectable 126‑1 after the full ten overs.
Abu Dhabi’s chase began cautiously, but the momentum shifted dramatically when Vriitya Aravind struck a quick 53 off 24 balls, keeping the required run rate in check. The real fireworks, however, erupted when Rayan Khan walked to the crease. His 64 runs off 24 balls, studded with sixes and fours, ensured Abu Dhabi crossed the finish line with three wickets in hand and just 1.5 overs to spare.
Bowling figures were modest on both sides. Abu Dhabi’s Sahib Rahman delivered a tidy 1/14 in his sole over, while Jordan Alvares managed 1/26 in two overs. Fujairah’s bowlers struggled to contain the onslaught, conceding 130 runs in under nine overs.
Key Performances
Zainullah Rehmani (Fujairah) – 65 runs off 34 balls, 7 fours, 3 sixes. His innings set a solid platform, but the lack of support from the middle order limited Fujairah’s total.
Yayin Rai (Fujairah) – 41 runs off 24 balls, 4 fours, 2 sixes. A quick cameo that kept the run rate high but fell short of a match‑winning partnership.
Vriitya Aravind (Abu Dhabi) – 53 runs off 24 balls, 5 fours, 3 sixes. Provided the early momentum in the chase and steadied the innings after a slow start.
Rayan Khan (Abu Dhabi) – 64 runs off 24 balls, 6 fours, 5 sixes. The match‑defining knock that turned a steady chase into a dominant finish.
Sahib Rahman (Abu Dhabi) – 1/14 in 1 over. Economical spell that helped keep Fujairah’s total in check.
Turning Points
The first turning point arrived when Rehmani’s boundary streak propelled Fujairah past the 70‑run mark, creating early pressure on Abu Dhabi’s bowlers. However, the second, decisive turning point was Khan’s onslaught. After Aravind’s half‑century, Abu Dhabi needed 35 runs off 12 balls. Khan’s aggressive approach, featuring back‑to‑back sixes, reduced the requirement to a manageable 8 runs in the final two overs, effectively sealing the match.
Another subtle shift was the weather: the sunny, low‑humidity conditions favored big hitting, and both teams capitalised, especially the visitors from Abu Dhabi who seemed more accustomed to the heat.
Series Implications
With this win, Abu Dhabi narrows the all‑time head‑to‑head gap, moving to six wins against Fujairah’s four. The victory not only boosts Abu Dhabi’s net run rate but also cements their position as serious contenders for the Emirates D10 League 2026 title. Fujairah, despite the loss, showed firepower in the batting department and will look to tighten their middle order in upcoming fixtures.
