Match Details
Michael Hogan came all guns blazing as they first took Jason Roy and then swallowed Will Jacks in a space of three balls, and in no time, Laurie Evans was sent packing.
However, Pope didn’t shy away from the challenge. He first rotated the strike and then used his prowess to smoke boundaries on will. The right-handed batter was well supported by S Curran and Clark as they never allow Glamorgan to come back into the game.
The RRR was always kept under count as over 9 runs were scored in each over. And as a result, the chasing team ended the game with a ball remaining.
Earlier in the day Surrey won the toss and decided to bowl first. Glamorgan didn't get the desired start as they lost David Lloyd for 3 runs, in came Labuschagne who did steady the ship for a while but ended up throwing his wicket after a quickfire 27-run stand with Sam Northeast.
Despite losing the wicket of Kiran Carlson, Northeast stood like a monk and completed his half-century. He was amply supported by Chris Cooke, who scored a blistering 27-ball 46 and was the aggressor in the partnership.
In the end, whacking by Northeast and Cooke didn’t help Glamorgan at all as a challenging target of 174 wasn’t enough for them.
