ILT20: Tom Banton's Century Sets Up Dominating Nine-wicket Win For MI Emirates Over Sharjah Warriorz
Making his maiden campaign for MI Emirates special, Banton became the fourth century-maker in the history of the competition and only the second in this season after Shai Hope's blistering century a week ago. While Hope's century went in vain, Banton's was a special one as it not only helped his team jump to the second position in the points table but this was also only the first century scored in the Sharjah Cricket Stadium in the history of ILT20.
Banton's blitz was well-supported by Kusal Perera who scored an unbeaten 56 off 42 balls, making light of the run chase, as they romped home to 177 in 17.4 overs. Banton brought about his ton with great authority, sending Dilshan Madushanka's short ball over the deep square leg for a huge six. His incredible knock was studded with 10 boundaries and six biggies while Perera packed off six boundaries and sent one over it in his commanding unbeaten knock.
