ILT20: Avishka Fernando’s Record-breaking Fifty Powers Sharjah Warriorz To Victory
Sharjah Cricket Stadium: Avishka Fernando electrified the Sharjah Cricket Stadium with blistering innings, leading the Warriorz to a record-breaking chase in ILT20 history. Chasing 202 against Dubai Capitals, Fernando smashed an extraordinary 81 runs off just 27 balls, reaching his half-century in a record-breaking 16 balls — the fastest in the tournament's history.
Fernando’s blistering knock, featuring eight massive sixes and six fours, ensured the Warriorz scaled the target in 18.1 overs with five wickets in hand. Earlier in the evening, Shai Hope played a pivotal role for the Capitals, compiling 83 runs to help his team post a challenging 201/5.
Facing a steep target, Johnson Charles ensured the Sharjah Warriorz stayed on track in the first few overs. Supported by Jason Roy at one end, Charles took on the Capitals’ attack, carving three fours and three sixes on the way to 37 runs in 19 balls. His onslaught was halted in the final over of the Power-play, when he was dismissed by Olly Stone to leave the Warriorz at 56/1.
