Delray Rawlins
Delray Rawlins and his Sussex teammates came within 12 runs of chasing down a massive total of 244 set by Essex Eagles at Chelmsford.
It was a fantastic effort by Sussex who just fell short of chasing what would have been a record chase for the visitors in T20 cricket.
Adam Rossington started fast, and with the top four of Essex’s batsmen all making 30+ runs the home side looked to be in control in the first innings.
Daniel Sams came in at 6 and accelerated Essex’s innings even further, making 71 from just 24 balls. Steve Finn was the pick of the Sussex bowled with figures of 3.1-0-45-2, while Rawlins bowled 2-0-11-0.
The visitors’ chances of overhauling Essex’s enormous total largely rested on a lightning start by Rizwan – and the Pakistan star, returning to the side after international duty, did his best to oblige.
After the wicket of Luke Wright, Rizwan and Ali Orr (38) accumulated a stand of 87 from 31, with the latter slamming Allison for a trio of sixes in one over.
Rizwan registered five maximums of his own, including a ruthless swat off Sams that flew out of the ground, and, despite pulling up in pain just short of his half-century and limping from then on, he kept Sussex up with the required rate.
Rawlins was at the wicket when the inning came to an end on 15 not out off 9 balls hitting 1 four and 1 six.
