IPL 2016 Qualifier 2: 5 memorable moments from GL v SRH that don't fade away

#2 Aaron Finch’s 50

Aaron Finch’s half-century helped Gujarat to a respectable total

It seems as though the number 5 spot of Gujarat Lions guarantees runs for openers. The team has 3 genuine openers in the form of Brendon McCullum, Aaron Finch and Dwayne Smith, but Eklavya Dwivedi opened the innings with their Kiwi against Hyderabad.

Finch has been struggling for form of late while opening the batting. Whereas, Dwayne Smith was having a fine time while playing at number 5. In fact, even Aaron Finch played a good innings at number 5. So the change was made and he repeated history.

He scored 50 runs in the 32 balls that he played last night. This came at a crucial juncture of the game and helped GL set up a score of above 160.
