It was a definition of a roller coaster, this innings! Sixes and wickets, and more sixes and wickets. Kent punched above their weight to put up a brilliantly competitive score on the board.
Tahir bowled a courageous spell to get rid of Arif after his brisk start before Ishan caught two absolute stunners to send back Lakanwal and Mohsin. However, those catches only came because Roma just never dropped their intent and every batter kept coming and hitting sixes at will.
Kamaljeet played the best knock, hitting 34 off just 14 balls, even as wickets fell from the other end. The match went close and Kent tightened their fielding and kept the run-rate under their control. But a poor fielding effort in the last over shifted the momentum back to Roma and Saif Ul Rehman avoided all the jitters to finish the match!
