It’s always a dream for a fast bowler.<\/span><\/p>\n “When someone is going well and has those kinds of performances, it has a huge impact on the team and on the result of the game. It was Woody’s day and he made it count.”<\/span><\/p>\n Elsewhere, England all-rounder Sam Curran, the most expensive player in the competition’s 16-year history, hit an unbeaten 26 as Punjab Kings made 191-5.<\/span><\/p>\n |
