New Delhi: St. Lucia Kings wicket-keeper batter Tim Seifert made some heavy damage on Mohammed Amir in the recent clash against the Antigua & Barbuda Falcons at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium in Antigua. The St.Lucia Kings emerged victorious by seven wickets and handed the Chris Green-led side their fourth loss in succession.
Antigua and Barbuda Falcons registered 142/7 on board after being put to bat first. Seifert came into bat during the run chase when the Faf du Plessis-led side was placed comfortably at 116/3 in the 12th over. The New Zealand wicket-keeper batter only had to apply the finishing touches and he did it in some style to bolster the team’s net run rate in the early stages of the competition.
Amir was handed the ball ahead of the 17th over after conceding 21 runs from his first three overs. The Pakistan left-arm seamer was welcomed by Seifert with consecutive sixes, followed by a boundary. He conceded a couple of singles after switching to around the wicket, but Seifert wrapped up the contest with yet another six off the final ball to yield 24 runs off the over.
