Sports, Cricket: On Sunday, walking in as a finisher when his team needed 38 off 19 balls, Raza smacked five fours and a six to win it for his team with four balls remaining.
Zimbabwe’s star all-rounder Sikandar Raza, 38, helped his team (Dubai Capitals) complete an improbable chase (38 off 19 balls) and helped them lift their maidenILT20 title on Sunday in the UAE.
Raza is a popular name in the T20 circuit, having fared for several franchise-based T20 leagues worldwide for a long time. On Sunday, walking in as a finisher when his team needed double (of the balls left) in a crucial final, Raza smacked five fours and a six to win it for his team with four balls remaining.
The right-handed batter kept his cool and found gaps at will to cut the deficit, and in the final over, smashed one to the point off Khuzaima Tanveer to complete the chase and win the title for his team.
