Fifty of Devon Conway
Conway was seen struggling initially. His two shots were top-edged, but were not caught. He was almost out by Maposa’s ball, and once the run-out was also left. But later he hit sixes on Nagarawa and Raza and scored a half -century in 34 balls. This was his second fifty in his last 15 T20 I innings.
