It was a treat to watch some exciting cricketing shots as the bowlers were routed all over the park.

They made full use of the powerplay restrictions to stroke runs at a rate of more than 12. It was some brutal batting on display as Rahul smashed a quick fiery 46 and remained unbeaten with Gayle on 49 before rain stopped play in the match.
