In his last over he took three or more to kill the knight rider’s run chase. Pat Cummins was trapped under his delivery and LBW with a quick delivery pitched full on a leg stump line. Sunil Narine caught at deep extra cover as he was trying to hit the ball. He was quite hungry for victory against his former employer.
