Tim David smacks joint second-fastest fifty of HBL PSL history

Singaporean hard-hitter Tim David has taken the cricketing world by storm as he has played two back-to-back powerful knocks while representing Multan Sultans in HBL Pakistan Super League (PSL) season seven.

The 25-year-old today smacked second joint-fastest fifty of HBL PSL. He scored fifty in the 13th match of the tournament against Peshawar Zalmi.

He stroked half a dozen maximums and two fours in his 19-ball 51. He now holds the record with Irish opener Paul Stirling, who smacked fifty in the same number of balls early this season that too against Zalmi.

With his knock, Sultans posted 222/3 in 20 overs as they look to register fifth straight win of HBL PSL 7
