Hazratullah Zazai's thunderous knock of 46* from 16 deliveries earns him the Player of the Match Award!
So that's that, and it's the Bangla Tigers that have secured an emphatic win over the Chennai Braves. Batting first, the Chennai Braves could only manage to score a meager total of 89/4 from the 10 overs.
Mohammad Shahzad topped the charts for the Braves with a knock of 32 from 17 deliveries. Mark Deyal came in second with 28 of 22. Other than them too, there wasn't much of a display from the rest of the batters.
L.Fletcher did well with the ball in hand as he scalped two wickets for just 17 runs. Luke Wood, and Qais Ahmad also bagged a wicket each for the Tigers.
The run chase was comfortable, to say the least! The opening duo of Hazratulle Zazai and Johnson Charles wreaked havoc and accumulated a scintillating 82 run stand from five overs. Charles struck a quickfire 30 of 15 deliveries, whereas, Zazai's knock of 46* from 16 deliveries stole the show. The Afghanistan international smashed two fours and five sixes while batting at a staggering strike rate of 287.50.
The Bangla Tigers eventually chased down the target with a score of 95/1 in 5.5 overs. The Chennai Braves are yet to secure a win this season, and it's been a horror show for them so far.
