MT defeated VK by six wickets
Speaking of the video, the incident took place during the first over of MT’s innings. MT skipper, Lynn looked absolutely clueless as he went for a drive to a full delivery but completely missed it. So, the ball rattled his stumps on the third delivery. Then, on the last delivery of that over, Waseem also got bamboozled as he went for a backfoot shot but missed it. Speaking of the match, Lynn won the toss and opted to bowl first. While batting first, VK scored 149 runs for four wickets in 20 overs. Fakhar Zaman scored 73 runs off 53 balls, including seven fours and three sixes.
For MT, Carlos Brathwaite took two wickets while Dipendra Singh Airee took one wicket. In reply, MT were in a spot of bother after losing three wickets for just 21 runs in 2.5 overs. But, Sherfane Rutherford came up with a match-winning knock as he smashed 84* runs off 53 balls, including seven fours and six sixes. For the fifth wicket, Rutherford and Airee put up an unbeaten partnership of 86 runs as MT chased down the target in 18.1 overs with six wickets in hand. With this win, MT ar enow in the top spot with three wins out of three while VK are in the second-last position with just two points in three games.
