Middlesex romped to a 110-run win in their opening encounter of the Pro Arch Trophy, comfortably beating hosts UAE at the Sharjah Cricket Association Stadium.
Having only landed in Dubai 48 hours earlier, two days later than his club-mates, Tyron Henderson proved why he was soon snapped up for the Indian Premier League by hammering 75 off just 34 balls in Middlesex's impressive 324 for 8 - the highest score of the tournament so far.
Henderson clattered six sixes and five fours in his blitz, following a more sedate 62-ball half-century from Neil Dexter and an impressive 93 from 79 balls by the talented Dawid Malan.
UAE finished woefully short of their target as Shaun Udal (2 for 6) and Daniel Evans (2 for 43) restricted them to 214 for 6, with a top-score of 62 from Saqib Ali.
