Morrisville Samp Army continues winning-run, maintain 100 percent win record

​Morrisville Samp Army continued their winning ways in Abu Dhabi T10 at the Zayed Cricket Stadium on Tuesday as they rode on Charith Asalanka’s fiery innings and a tremendous bowling effort to script a three-run win.

Banton gave a good start to Delhi in chase, scoring 25 runs in 11 balls. But after Mohammad Zahid cleaned up his stumps with his first ball, the momentum began shifting towards Morrisville.
