South African Rassie van der Dussen starred with a brutal 92* as the Chennai Braves Jaguars recorded their first win of the 2024 Abu Dhabi T10 in seven games with a 10-wicket win over the UP Nawabs at the Zayed Cricket Stadium in Abu Dhabi on Friday.

The Nawabs first made a daunting 124-4 from their 10 overs after being put in to bat by the Jaguars.

Captain Rahmanullah Gurbaz led the way with 41 off 17 balls while Odean Smith and Avishka Fernando provided good support with 23* and 23, each of those knocks coming off 13 balls. Andre Fletcher chipped in with 12.

Van der Dussen then provided a masterful display of big hitting, smashing eight fours and seven sixes in his 41-ball knock.

Josh Brown played a good supporting role with 21* as the Jaguars needed 9.2 overs to reach 125-0, securing their first win of the season in emphatic fashion.
