Sikandar Raza 30(65)
67.2
Devendra Bishoo to Raza, out Caught by Roston Chase!! Raza will be disappointed with the way he has got out. It was a poor delivery. It was short and wide outside off asking to be hit. Guess what Raza does? He gives himself room and tries to cut it too hard only to find cover fielder. Chase catches it at a comfortable height. Raza c Roston Chase b Devendra Bishoo 30(65) [4s-2 6s-1]
