Global Canada T20, Edmonton Royals vs CWI B Team, 6th Match: 5 Talking Points

#2 CWIB’s top-order falls apart in the first 10 overs

Hasan Khan was brilliant in his first two overs as he picked up 3 wickets

Chasing 156 was not a big ask but they did need some partnerships going. But that didn’t happen as they were reduced to 66/6 in the first 10 overs.

After a couple of good overs at the top, they lost a couple of wickets in the powerplay but were in good stead at 42/2. But after the powerplay, they kept losing wickets as Pakistan spinner Hasan Khan took 3 wickets in his first two overs and Shahid Afridi dismissed Nicholas Pooran (who scored a match-winning fifty in the last game) to leave CWIB in tatters at 66/6.

None of the top 7 batsmen could get past the 20-run mark. Opener Justin Greaves was the highest scorer in the top 7 as he got 19. All the Royals’ bowlers bowled well as they not only kept it tight but also picked up wickets at regular intervals in the first half of the chase.
