Royals vs Amazon, 16th Match at Basseterre, CPL, Sep 04 2021 - Match Result

he does it in style with an uppercut over backward point! Young bounces him outside off, Hemraj gets on his toes and carves this square and high over the rope on the off side. The ball hasn't even cleared before he starts with the fist pumps and furious bat waves. A maiden CPL century for Hemraj in a dominant win for the Amazon Warriors!

low full toss on sixth stump, he slaps this off a thick edge and bolts but it goes straight to short third man and Shoaib sends him back rightly.

full on the legs, chipped into midwicket for an easy single. Hemraj will keep strike with scores level and one run to get to a century. Only some spectacularly devilish gamesmanship in the form of a wide or a no ball will deny him a century here. Anyone having flashbacks to Kieron Pollard right about now???

full on fifth stump, Hemraj backs away to create room to carve this over extra cover, one bounce to the rope.

flighted full on middle, Hemraj aborts a big windup to check this back to Nurse.

full on middle and leg, chips a single behind square.

good length ball on off, defended.

good length ball on off, pressed tentatively into cover.

good length ball on the hips, flicks this fine off the bat (according to the umpire anyway) for four runs past the keeper through fine leg. Replays show it did come off the bat and not the pads but Hemraj was desperate to sell it to the umpire regardless waving his bat to the umpire to leave no doubt.

uses his feet to come down the track, Nurse drags it back and Shoaib checks a flick into midwicket. Hemraj still has the century in sight starting the next over on strike.

good length ball on middle, goes back to punch to midwicket on the ring.

full and wide, pushed behind point and the sweeper has a long way to go to cut off the second and can't.

good length ball on middle, goes back to flick through midwicket.

flighted full on middle, drives this straight down the ground and Holder is far too wide at long-off to cut it off.
