Pollard stars in Kerala Kings win

A robust unbeaten 40 by Caribbean Keiron Pollard steered Kerala Kings to an incredible eight wickets win over Team Sri Lanka in their rain interrupted T10 League at Sharjah Cricket Stadium on Saturday night, according to Khaleej Times.

Pollard's nonchalant and ruthless massacre of the Lankans saw Kerala Kings breeze past on a chilly Saturday night, with eight wickets in hand and 11 deliveries remaining, according to the Duckworth Lewis Method.

The target had been 113 before lightening was accompanied by a not too threatening drizzle. The Kerala Kings were 67 for two in five overs, at that point when play was stopped, with Pollard's compatriot and opener Chadwick Walton holding the reins. Walton was on 47 from 21 balls with seven boundaries and two sixes and he was to end up without adding to his score as Pollard's pummelling took centre stage.

Pollard was on 15 from five deliveries with two boundaries at that time, with the Kerala Kings needing 46 from 30 balls and with eight wickets in hand.

On resumption, the target was revised to 91 required from eight overs, which meant 24 needed from 18 deliveries.
