 Pooran’s 19 fours and 21 sixes across six games in the 2022 season put him at No. 1 with 249 runs at an average of 62.25. On Wednesday the Gladiators were asked to chase against the Tigers. A second onslaught from Pakistan’s Iftikhar Ahmed, who continued from his undefeated 83 off 30 deliveries on Tuesday to end not out on 54 off 21 deliveries, was primarily responsible for that. However, the Gladiators prevailed this time with 23 balls to spare. The defending champions easily reached 109 runs in just 37 deliveries thanks to half-centuries from Tom Kohler-Cadmore and Nicholas Pooran.

They scored at a rate of over three runs per ball. Ahead of the final this Sunday, they once again appear to be the team to be dreaded. The chase was reminiscent of the brutal manner in which they destroyed 159 in last year’s final. Although the chase wasn’t supposed to be that straightforward, Kohler-Cadmore and Pooran put on a show by combining for 11 sixes. Before facing Shakib Al Hasan, Pooran was 20 of 10 and struck five sixes in one over to reach a 16-ball half-century.
