Surrey v Hampshire - Friends Life T20 - South Group – Surrey amass 84 runs in 10 overs – Live Score and Update
Surrey 84/4 (10/10 ov) – Surrey won the toss and chose to bat
With rains ravaging most parts of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c56013 on Monday, it was quite unlikely for cricket fans to see any action in the ongoing Friends Life T20 tournament.
Nonetheless, the match at Kennington Oval, London, between http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Hampshire-c789 did take place after all, even when the rain had almost ruined the day.
Match officials not wanting to leave the fans disappointed, reduced the 20-over game to 10 overs and asked the teams to start the day’s proceedings as the winds had taken away the rain.
On winning the toss, Surrey skipper, GJ Batty, chose to bat first as with ten overs to play, he wanted his team to bat as hard as they could in order to put enough runs on the board, to give their opponents a serious headache.
The plans hit rock bottom when with nothing on the board, the side lost their first wicket on the very first delivery of the day, as http://www.senore.com/Cricket/KP-Pietersen-c1806 was caught by Adams off the bowling of LA Dawson.
With the hard-hitting KP out of action, the batting side were put under pressure early on, while Hampshire were feeling more confident than ever.
However, wicketkeeper/batsman, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Wood-c98110, off the bowling of DR Briggs, after bolstering a fiery knock of 30 runs off 11 deliveries.
In the fifth over, it was then time for http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Andrew-Symonds-c44611 to hit the showers as he fell after playing an unimpressive innings of four runs off seven deliveries. At the time of this wicket, Surrey had managed to post 44 runs on the board.
While http://www.senore.com/Cricket/ZS-Ansari-c98641 and Z de Bruyn exhibited some fine batting, the partnership came to an end on the demise of the latter, when the team had clobbered a total of 80 runs.
Ansari stayed unbeaten on a tally of 35 as Surrey managed to amass a decent total.
