Storms keep coming in America every now and then. There is nothing surprising in this. The only difference is that this time the storm has not been natural but has been created by the bats of two neighboring batsmen. This storm has arisen on the cricket pitch of America. This storm is of runs, which is going to be raised by Finn Allen and Matthew Short. Finn is from New Zealand and Matthew Short is from Australia. And, if we look at the world map, then both these players come from two neighboring countries. Finn and Short made a blast while playing for the San Francisco Unicorn team in America's Major Cricket League and wrote the script of victory. The team on which the havoc of these two batsmen has fallen is Los Angeles Knight Riders.

In the match played on July 7 as per local time in Dallas, San Francisco Unicorn defeated Los Angeles Knight Riders by 6 wickets. In this match, Knight Riders batted first and scored 165 runs for 6 wickets in 20 overs. No batsman from Knight Riders could score a half-century. Andre Russell scored the highest unbeaten 40 runs. Now San Francisco had a target of 166 runs, which it achieved in just 15.2 overs on the strength of the storm created by Finn Allen and Matthew Short.

Finn Allen- Matthew Short came in and scored runs

While chasing the target, Francisco Unicorn's team lost its first wicket at 15 runs. But after that, Finn Allen and Matthew Short batted at a different level. Neither of them was ready to stop. That is to say, runs were pouring in from both ends. This scene is also necessary for a country like America, where cricket is booming right now.

Finn Allen faced just 37 balls and scored 63 runs at a strike rate of 170.27, which included 5 sixes and 4 fours. Matthew Short looked a little more explosive. He scored 58 runs in just 26 balls at a strike rate of more than 223, which included 5 sixes and 3 fours.

Russell, Shakib, Narine… no one is left!

Finn and Short created a storm of runs on the USA pitch against the bowling line-up of that team, which included one of the world's most economical bowlers, Sunil Narine, death overs specialist Andre Russell and a group of all-rounders whose big name was Shakib Al Hasan. Finn and Short smashed all these balls. Now if someone creates such havoc, how can his team lose? The same happened with San Francisco Unicorn, who won their first match in Major League Cricket 2024 with pride.
