Rashid Khan to Oliver Davies, SIX, beautifully played, dropped short and at the stumps, Davies makes room and then punches it over cover, the timing is sweet, and the ball drops over the ropes for a maximum

Not many can pull this off against Rashid… Outrageous from Ollie Davies!

“It was pretty tough early. Frankie (Daniel Worrall) was swinging the ball. It’s always tough to face Rashid early in the innings. He and Fuzzy (Fawad Ahmed) started really well. At the ten-over mark, I said sorry. I knew, with Surge to come, I could capitalize. I was lucky at times as well. Shorty helped me out in the boundary. It was a good night. I have had a lot of support, especially from the coaches. Only halfway through the tournament, it’s nice to score some runs early but it’s important that I carry this momentum towards the back end of the tournament as well,” he added.
