FABIEN ALLEN (75* in 30 balls)
In the 6th match of the tournament, the Edmonton Royals faced West Indies B and batted first to put on 155 runs thanks to 49 from Kevin O’Brien. The West Indies B team had to chase the not too big target to register a comfortable win.
However, the three experienced Royals’ pacers Mohammad Irfan, Sohail Tanveer, and Wayne Parnell rocked the West Indies B team, reducing them to 66/6. This is the time Fabien Allen walked in at no.8 with 90 runs to win off the last 10 overs.
What happened next was an assault by Allen of the highest class, as he hit Shahid Afridi for 3 sixes and a four in one over, on his way to 75* in 30 balls. When the dust settled, West Indies B won the match by 3 wickets and 2 overs to spare and Allen won the Man of the Match and hearts of the crowds in attendance and watching on TV.
