Tahir, however, came to his own in the 18th over when he smashed Manpreet Gony for three sixes. In the next over, he found a boundary against Munaf Patel to reduce the target 12 in the last over.
Venugopal Rao was asked to bowl that over and Tahir slog-swept him for a six over midwicket. On the third ball, Tahir danced down the track to finish the match with a straight six and reach his fifty in 19 balls.
It was also Imran Tahir's last game of the league as he will be participating in the Pakistan Super League(PSL), starting from 27th Jan.
