Jonny Bairstow goes full throttle against  Sharafuddin Ashraf 

Samp Army posted 109 runs on the board batting first, and while host teams were struggling, it was Jonny Bairstow who shouldered the responsibility. He unleashed his inner power hitter and took on Sharafuddin Ashraf head-on. In the 6th over, Bairstow smoked a maximum over deep mid-wicket before following it up with another six in the same area.

He cheekily pushed a boundary off the next ball to third man before fetching another six runs to deep mid-wicket. To cap off the over, Bairstow slammed a four to square third man to bring up a massive 27-run over. Jonny Bairstow's surplus over pushed Abu Dhabi's total to 54/3 in 6 overs.

That being said, Jonny Bairstow fought till the end with 70* off 30 balls but unfortunately couldn't lift his team to a victory. Team Abu Dhabi fell short of just 3 runs in chase as Samp Army stole a nerve wrecking victory.
