The young batter hit 11 sixes in his knock along with two boundaries that saw the Unicorns score 219 runs on the board. McGurk hit Shadley van Schalkwyk for four successive sixes. The first six came in the third ball of the fifth over when McGurk pulled the bowler over the backward square leg region for a six.
The second six soon followed as the batter hit the ball over the deep mid-wicket region. The third six of the over was one of the best shots of the day. McGurk played an amazing shot over the extra cover region that had the fans in complete awe. LAKR bowler van Schalkwyk conceded the fourth six of the over when McGurk hit his second shot over the deep mid-wicket region for a huge hit.
Unmukt Chand’s fifty goes in vain for LA Knight Riders
