Mohammad Shahzad scores 16-ball 74 in T10 opener against Sindhis

It was due to Shahzad’s 74 runs from 16 balls that Rajputs won the match by 10 wickets at Sharjah Cricket Stadium with six overs left

When it comes to chasing, a target of 95 runs in 10 overs appears to be quite competitive, but that’s something Mohammad Shahzad proved wrong while batting for Rajputs in the opening game of the the T10 League against Sindhis.

It was due to Shahzad’s 74 runs from 16 balls that Rajputs won the match by 10 wickets at Sharjah Cricket Stadium with six overs left. The 30–year-old hit six boundaries and as many as eight sixes.

All the Sindhi bowlers went over 20 runs in their respective overs. Not only that, Shafzad reached his half-century in a mere 12 deliveries as the Sindhis tried out haplessly.
