Afghanistan batsman Mohammad Shahzad was at his destructive best as he slammed an unbeaten 74 off just 16 balls to give Rajputs a 10-wicket win over Sindhis in the T10 League in Dubai on Wednesday.
Chasing a target of 95, Shahzad and Brendon McCullum mauled the bowlers with their aggressive batting as they chased down the total in just 24 deliveries. It was a brilliant show by the duo as the chase was completed in just 17 minutes.
The 16-ball-74 by Shahzad was the highest score in T10s ever and the Afghanistan wicket-keeper was able to bring up his fifty in just 12 balls - another first in T10 cricket.
