27 August in cricket
27 August
Dates follow UTC, the same clock as our daily posts.
On This Day in 2016, Florida witnessed a batting showdown for the ages as India and West Indies traded blows in a T20I. KL Rahul lit up the occasion with a blistering 110 off just 51 balls, a masterclass in controlled aggression against the West Indies attack.
The hosts answered in kind, with Evin Lewis smashing an equally explosive 100 from 49 deliveries. He found support in Johnson Charles, whose 79 off 33 balls kept the fireworks flowing in one of the format's most memorable run-fests.
The date also belongs to the bowlers. In the 2020 CPL, Mohammad Nabi produced a stunning 5 for 15 for St Lucia Zouks against St Kitts and Nevis Patriots, a spell of pure precision.
