IPL-bound West Indies spinner Akeal Hosein praised RawalPindiz batter Dian Forrester after his quick cameo during Pakistan Super League (PSL) 11 match despite team defeat.
The South African cricketer scored 24 runs from 11 deliveries, including one boundary and three consecutive sixes during Mohammad Nawaz over in the match for his side.
Akeal Hosein shared a short video on his Instagram, recording the innings from his hotel room in India while following Indian Premier League commitments in the ongoing season.
He praised the aggressive batting and ability Forrester to hit consecutive maximums under pressure during the innings despite RawalPindiz struggling in the competition.
RawalPindiz, who now lost four consecutive matches, posted 182 for eight in 20 overs, with Sam Billings scoring an unbeaten 56 from 34 deliveries to anchor innings for their team.
Multan Sultans chased 183 comfortably with 22 balls remaining, led by Sahibzada Farhan who scored 68 runs and Josh Philippe scored 56 runs in a 110-run partnership.
After their dismissals, Ashton Turner and Shan Masood completed the chase with an unbroken 47-run stand for the fourth wicket without further loss late on.
The defeat marked RawalPindiz’s fourth consecutive loss in the tournament despite contributions from Billings and Forrester during the match played at Gaddafi Stadium on Monday.
