Bravo also removed the dangerous Simmons in the eighth over by having him caught at covers for 19. He then caught Wayne Parnell on 13 at long-on off Young in the last over.Dhananjaya Lakshan hit two consecutive scoop shot boundaries and Warriors innings ended three runs short of the 100 run mark.Chasing the target, the aggressive Gurbaz hit Wahab Riaz's second delivery of the first over to backward square leg for a six. He also hit the last delivery of the first over for a boundary. In the second over, Lewis hit Junaid Siddique's first delivery for a boundary. He also hit the second delivery for a six to long-on.Siddique struck back having Lewis caught at deep mid-wicket for 10 and also had Gurbaz caught at the same position for 14.
