Smith blasts 31-ball 50 to rally Gujarat after a horror start

May 24, 2016 20:56

Gujarat 89-3 (13 ovs) vs RCB | Scorecard

Smith continues to be positive against Chahal. The leg-spinner seems to have bowled a good over, conceding just two singles from five balls, before Smith pulls the last ball over midwicket for a six.

Karthik also steps up a gear as he sweeps Abdulla through square leg for a four. A few delivers later, Smith swings a full delivery across the line through midwicket for another four. He lofts the next ball straight, and again it looks to be a mishit but it carries all the way over long-on for a six.

That six helps Smith race to his half-century from just 31 balls as Gujarat recover to 89 for three in 13 overs.
