Rovman Powell created such havoc with the bat that everyone was stunned. Rovman Powell missed out on being included in the club of select batsmen who have achieved the astonishing feat of hitting 6 sixes in 6 consecutive balls in an over. If Powell had not been out on the last ball, he would have been included in the special club of batsmen who hit 6 sixes in an over.
In fact, on the basis of Rovman Powell’s explosive batting and Sunil Narine’s deadly bowling, Los Angeles defeated Seattle Orcas by a huge margin of 81 runs and registered its second consecutive win in the tournament. In this way the team continued its winning campaign in Major League Cricket i.e. MLC 2026.
Powell changed the complexion of the match
The Los Angeles team, which came to bat first, kept losing wickets at regular intervals, but thanks to small innings the scoreboard kept moving forward. Openers Andre Fletcher and Colin Munro gave the team a strong start by adding 58 runs for the first wicket. However, the real blast was seen in the last overs of the innings.
After 16 overs, the team’s score was 138/5 and at that time it seemed that the score would be around 180 runs. Then Rovman Powell, who played for KKR in IPL 2026, entered the field and created havoc with the very first ball. In the 17th over, Powell hit five consecutive sixes off Dasun Shanaka. He scored 37 runs in his short but explosive innings of just 11 balls. However, he was out on the last ball of the over, but by then the course of the match had completely changed.
Naren broke his back in the beginning
Thanks to Powell’s aggressive batting, Los Angeles Knight Riders scored a big score of 196 runs. For Seattle, Jasdeep Singh and Gerald Bartman took three wickets each, but Powell’s innings ruined all their hard work. Chasing the target of 197 runs, Seattle Orcas had a very bad start. Sunil Narine gave a big blow to the team by sending Tim Seifert and Matthew Britzke to the pavilion in the powerplay itself. After this, Carmi Le Roux also put Seattle under pressure by taking two wickets. By the end of the powerplay, the team had lost 4 wickets for 43 runs.
Half the team had returned to the pavilion at the score of 59 runs. Even after this, the process of falling wickets continued. This was the reason why the team could not last even the full 20 overs and collapsed for 115 runs in just 15.3 overs. Shadley Van Schalkwyk and Andre Russell completely destroyed Seattle’s batting by taking three wickets each.
