Colin Munro: Watch Scorchers batsman plays reverse late cut for a single vs Renegades in BBL 10

Colin Munro: The batsman from Perth Scorchers scored an eye-catching 40th T20 half-century at the Perth Stadium.

During the 25th match of the ongoing 13th season of the Big Bash League between Perth Scorchers and Melbourne Renegades in Perth, Perth Scorchers batsman Colin Munro was seen optimal risk but only to run a single.

It all happened on the second delivery of the 15th over when Munro aimed at playing a switch-hit off Melbourne Renegades spinner Peter Hatzoglou. With the bowler not providing enough room for the switch-hit, Munro ended up guiding the ball towards the short fine leg fielder for a single.

In what was a praiseworthy piece of adjustment from the southpaw, he put on display a hilarious shot to cope up with Hatzoglou playing smart.

Coming in to bat at No. 4 in the 10th over, Munro shared an impact-generating 117-run partnership for the third wicket alongside wicket-keeper batsman Josh Inglis. The duo playing their shots freely without getting their eye in played a vital role in Scorchers scoring a formidable 185-3 in 20 overs after being asked to bat first by visiting captain Aaron Finch.

Munro, who registered a 24-ball half-century, scored the fifth-fastest half-century for Scorchers as he ended up scoring 52 (31) with the help of a four and five sixes.

However, it was Inglis scoring 72* (41) with the help of seven fours and two sixes which made him the best batsman for the hosts. With bowling figures of 4-0-32-2, Renegades pacer Jack Prestwidge was the pick of the bowlers for his team.
