Srinagar: Wickets are flying , sixes are being smashed as ongoing T20 Blast league in England is in full flow. On Thursday IPL side RCB star Will Jacks displayed brutal hitting during Middlesex vs Surrey clash.
Will Jacks who plays for RCB in IPL has ben in terrific form in the past 12 months and on Thursday smashed 96 off just 45 balls and ripped apart the Middlesex bowling attack, especially the leg-spinner Luke Hollman.
Will Jacks hit five consecutive sixes in the 11th over of the innings against Hollman.
The first ball was short and was slapped over the deep square leg, the second delivery was full outside the off-stump which Jacks hit over long-off. A length ball was dispatched over cow corner on the next delivery while the next two balls too had the same outcome as the ball flew over extra cover and long-on respectively.
Jacks was unlucky not to hit the sixth one for a maximum as well, as he missed out on a full toss on which he scored just one run. However, his 31-run blast ensured that Surrey was posting a huge total on the board for the Men in Pink to chase
However, Jacks and his opening partner Laurie Evans’ efforts went in vain as Middlesex batters made a mockery of a 252-run total. Captain Stephen Eskinazi starred with a 39-ball 73 as the likes of Joe Cracknell, Ryan Higgins and Max Holden all played their part to help their side achieve the highest successful chase in T20 Blast history and second-highest in T20s.
