ILT20 2024-25: Tom Alsop Eyes Playoff Spot For Gulf Giants After Match-winning Knock
Dubai International Cricket Stadium: Gulf Giants secured their third win of the ILT20 2024-25 campaign after clinching a thrilling six-wicket win against the Sharjah Warriorz courtesy of a match-winning knock from Tom Alsop. This is the second consecutive win this season for the Adani Sportsline-owned franchise and gives the team a significant boost toward their quest for the playoffs.
Alsop’s unbeaten 85 off 60 balls helped Gulf Giants chase down the 172-run target with three balls to spare. His knock is now also the highest individual score by a Gulf Giants batter in the ILT20, surpassing James Vince’s previous best of 76 runs.
Reflecting on his match-winning performance, Tom Alsop stated, “It was pleasing (to get the team over the line). I think the situation dictated the way things panned out. We obviously wanted to try and get some partnerships going and then unfortunately, we lost a few wickets in clusters in that middle period. It was my responsibility to see it through. Happy that we got the win.”
