Kieron Pollard continues to prove his mettle in white-ball leagues around the world, delivering a spectacular performance in The Hundred on August 10. Representing Southern Brave, Pollard smashed Rashid Khan of Trent Rockets for five consecutive sixes, turning the tide of the match at the Rose Bowl in Southampton.
Pollard’s explosive batting came at a crucial moment when Southern Brave needed 49 runs from the final 20 deliveries to chase down a target of 127. Rashid Khan, who had been economical in his first 15 balls, conceding just 10 runs and taking a wicket, saw his bowling figures dismantled by Pollard’s power-hitting. The veteran cricketer’s onslaught reduced the equation to just 19 runs needed from the last 15 balls, setting up a thrilling finish.
Pollard’s quickfire 45 off 23 balls proved to be the match-winning knock, helping Southern Brave secure a victory with just one ball to spare. Despite his heroics, Pollard expressed a desire for his team to avoid such tense situations in the future.
“Hopefully, we will not put ourselves in such a situation again,” Pollard remarked after the match, acknowledging the nail-biting finish.
Reflecting on his remarkable display against Rashid Khan, Kieron Pollard shared insights into his strategy. “I’ve played a lot against him, and I know about his line and length. I just backed myself and got the result. But Rashid is a world-class bowler. We’ve played a lot against each other,” he said, showing respect for the Afghan spin wizard despite the emphatic victory.
Pollard’s performance not only secured a crucial win for Southern Brave but also highlighted his enduring prowess in the shortest format of the game, reinforcing his reputation as one of the most dangerous hitters in cricket.
