Fernando hits fastest ILT20 half-century in Warriorz win

Avishka Fernando hit a 16-ball half-century as Sharjah Warriorz beat Dubai Capitals by five wickets in the International League T20.

Fernando's fifty is the fastest in the tournament's history, beating Azam Khan's 18 balls.

The Sri Lankan was eventually dismissed for 81, but his 27-ball knock, that contained six fours and eight sixes, swung the game firmly in Warriorz's favour.

Lancashire's Luke Wells made an unbeaten 31 off 17 balls to get Warriorz's over the line as they chased 202 with 11 balls to spare.

Capitals had posted 201-5 with West Indies batter Shai Hope making an unbeaten 83 off 52 balls.

Warriorz move second in the six-team table, while Capitals sit fifth with two defeats in three games.
