The crowd roared as Rachin Ravindra smashed a massive 77-meter six off the very first ball of the third over. Clearly smashed Wasim tried to bounce back with a quicker delivery but it lacked accuracy and ended up being dispatched to the boundary by the Kiwi batsman.
Sensing his dominance, Ravindra was not done yet. He finished the over in style, lofting a full toss from Wasim over extra cover for another towering six. This 18-run over by Ravindra not only put the pressure back on the Orcas but also gave the Freedoms a much-needed boost in their chase.
