📢 STAT ALERT 📈

Kamran Akmal has been destructive in the powerplay in #HBLPSLV - no other top order batsman has scored at a quicker rate. The problem for the bowlers is that he capitalises on any errors in length, scoring at over 11 RPO off full and short deliveries from pacers pic.twitter.com/h4idJ0CjVV
