James Vince of Gulf Giants<\/strong><\/p>\n

James Vince has scored three half-centuries in the first five games for Adani\u2019s Gulf Giants<\/em><\/p>\n

Dubai (UAE), January 25: <\/strong>The Adani Sportsline Owned Gulf Giants have made a rollicking start to their campaign at the inaugural edition of the DP World ILT20 and are sitting pretty at the top of the table with 8 points from 5 games.<\/p>\n

Ably led by the Englishman James Vince, who has been the team\u2019s most successful batter so far, Adani\u2019s Gulf Giants got out of the blocks at a rapid pace, with the team also ticking off the boxes during the business end of the games.<\/p>\n

\u201cVince\u2019s form has been outstanding; he is a high-quality player, and he has been pivotal to our success so far. His captaincy has been positive, and Vince has been calm and makes good tactical decisions. And he\u2019s led from the front. Also, Shimron Hetmyer has been in great form, and he\u2019s working hard, too, in training, and he\u2019s reproduced that in the games as well. Our bowlers, who are quite experienced too, are doing well under pressure,\u201d said head coach Andy Flower.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe likes of Chris Jordan and David Wiese have been good with the ball for us, and our fielding has been impressive, too, so far. Adani\u2019s Gulf Giants also benefits from the fact that a player like Dominic Drakes is performing well in training and pushing for a spot in the playing XI, so that keeps everyone on their toes,\u201d Flower added.<\/p>\n

The former Zimbabwean captain also spoke about the talented cricketers from the UAE, who are part of the Giants\u2019 squad, and said that the local cricketers are in a good space, singling out the young Sanchit Sharma for praise.<\/p>\n

\u201cA top-quality tournament like this is brilliant for UAE cricket. Each side has at least 4 UAE players, and we\u2019ve seen some great performances from them already, which is good for the domestic circuit here. On our side, Sanchit has been doing well; he\u2019s calm under pressure and is a skilful swing bowler, while Aayan Khan\u2019s had a tougher time, and Ashwanth Valthapa\u2019s also had a go. This sort of exposure is really good for these players, and good performances from them can only work well for everyone,\u201d the coach said.<\/p>\n

Flower, who was a prolific scorer during his playing days and often led the resistance for the Zimbabwean side, also touched upon the fact that his side\u2019s shown the stomach for a fight, an aspect which has left him mighty impressed.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe players have always enjoyed the challenges that have come their way. It\u2019s always great to see the fight from our team whenever there is a tough situation; any coach likes to see that. It is good to see the players enjoy their challenges and battle their way out of situations. That can only augur well for Adani\u2019s Gulf Giants team,\u201d he signed off.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Up next for the Gulf Giants will be the game against the Abu Dhabi Knight Riders in Dubai on 25th<\/sup> January, when they will look to consolidate their position at the top of the points table.<\/p>\n
