India’s T20 captain Harmanpreet Kaur registered her maiden half-century of the KIA Super League, on Tuesday, as her side Lancashire Thunder beat Yorkshire Diamonds by nine runs to stay in contention for a place in the final.
The 29-year-old produced a quick-fire 44-ball 74, inclusive of four boundaries and six sixes at Stanley Park in Blackpool. Kaur was dismissed in the final over of the innings after propelling Thunder's score to 154/9 in 20 overs.
After a relative slow start of 12 runs from 14 balls, the all-rounder smashed 62 from the next 30 deliveries to ensure the Thunder finished with a competitive score after being asked to bat first.
It wasn’t just the Diamonds who felt the wrath on Tuesday as during the course of her innings, she smashed a car windscreen and nearly hit BBC journalist and broadcaster Stuart Flinders on the sidelines.
