A strong start saw Johnson and Tim Seifert (35) setting up a 74-run partnership, before the deadlock was broken by Andre Russell. The wicket of Johnson soon followed, off Usman Tariq's bowling, and from there the team were unable to maintain their momentum, losing wickets on a regular basis. SLK eventually scored 165-6 in their stipulated 20 overs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Earlier, SLK opted to bowl first, with skipper David Wiese striking first to get Alex Hales, who scored 10. Soon after, Keacy Carty (9) followed after he was caught by Wiese off Roston Chase's bowling. However, opener Colin Munro kept the pressure on the SLK bowlers, but eventually fell to the bowling of Tabraiz Shamsi.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
