Both players came face to face in Global T20 Canada League
West Indies’ opener Chris Gayle continued his rich vein of form by smashing Pakistan’s leg-spinner Shadab Khan for 32 runs in one over.
Gayle’s explosive innings ensured another win for his side, Vancouver Knights, in the Global T20 Canada League on Friday. The hard-hitting batsman struck 94 runs off just 44 balls.

Gayle has been in impressive form recently. He scored an unbeaten 122 in his previous game and was on the cusp of scoring back-to-back T20 hundreds before being dismissed for 94.
