Gayle stars in Ram Slam with half-century, Russell fails to fire

POTCHEFSTROOM, South Africa (CMC) – Chris Gayle blasted another half-century while Andre Russell suffered the indignity of a first ball ‘duck’, as Lions beat Knights in a thrilling Super Over in the South African Ram Slam T20 League here Sunday.

Sent in at Senwes Park, Lions rattled up 161 for seven off their 20 overs, with the left-handed Gayle scoring exactly 50 off 40 deliveries with eight fours and a six, to follow up his century earlier in the week.

He put on 80 for the first wicket with Alviro Petersen (34) before falling via the run out route in the 10th over.
