Punjab struggle with the bat; SRH on top

April 21, 2021 16:48

Punjab 98-6 (16 ovs) vs SRH

Pacer Kaul is back into the attack. Allen taps the first ball on the off-side before he has a big swing next ball but is beaten.

He fails to get a run off the third ball before he picks a single off the fourth ball but Kaul has overstepped to concede a no-ball and a free hit.

Shahrukh makes most of the free hit delivery as he swings the slower ball from Kaul over midwicket for a six.

He tries to reverse paddle the next ball but mishits it to short thirdman as Allen comes across for a quick run and is lucky that the fielder misses the direct hit.

Allen keeps strike with a quick run off the last ball.

Rashid is back into the attack. Allen is beaten first ball before he picks a single next ball and Shahrukh is also happy to take one off the next.

Allen comes forward to defend but gets a thick inside edge to square leg for a single and Shahrukh takes one off the last ball.

Just four runs from the over as Rashid finishes with good figures of 1/17.

Punjab will aim for a strong finish as they are struggling on 98/6 in 16 overs.

Their hopes rest largely on the young Shahrukh, who has stroked 18 from 12 balls, while Allen, on five from nine balls, is also handy with the bat.
