On Sunday, during a match between Multiply Titans and Bizhub Highveld Lions, South Africa’s star batsman AB de Villiers played brutal innings of 50 off just 19 balls and lit up the Ram Slam T20 League in South Africa on Sunday.

Playing for the Titans, De Villiers played mercilessly and smashed every ball whatever came his way. Titans captain Albie Morkel was also in a similar mood as he smashed 41 off 16 balls.

Titans registered an eight-wicket victory over Lions in a run-affected match in which they had to chase 135 in 15 overs. Titans chased down the target in just 11.2 overs, thanks to eventful innings of De Villiers and Morkel. Quinton de Kock also provided a solid start at the top with a quickfire 39.

Lions were building up to a good total as Reeza Hendricks was playing a good hand. But the rain forced the official to stop the game when Lions were 127 for the loss of six wickets in 15 overs and no further play was possible in their innings. Hendricks scored 42-ball 67 with eight fours and two sixes in his innings.

The start of the match was also great for the Titans as the Lions lost two wickets in the first over itself. Albie removed Rassie van der Dussen and Mangaliso Mosehle in the first over, that too on ducks.

The target of 135 runs in 15 overs felt pretty small after De Kock’s provided a solid start to Titans. But, De Villiers and Albie changed the gears rapidly and took the game away from the Lions. De Villiers finished the game by smashing a six and also completed his fifty with the shots.
