Well that was some end to the innings. After losing two quick wickets, captain Hashmatullah and Rahmat stitched a 194 run stand for the third wicket though there were heaps of dot balls and failed to pick gaps till the 35th over of the game. After reaching their fifties both the batters went bang bang and up their strike rates. Blessing Muzarabani came is for his last spell, bagged both the batters and denied them their individual hundred's. It was Rashid's show in the last five overs of the game who carried his IPL form and smacked 39 in just 17. Bowling figures of Chatara doesn't really say the story. He was excellent but poor last few overs spoiled his figures. Catch us in 20 minutes time .
