The Unicorns’ opener went hammer and tongs against Orcas before his casual approach resulted in him getting run out in a bizarre manner.
The incident happened in the fourth over when Allen tapped a Cameron Gannon delivery towards short mid-wicket to go for a quick single. But what followed next left Allen in complete disbelief after Shehan Jayasuriya exhibited remarkable alertness.
He swiftly seized the ball and executed a run out, catching the unsuspecting batter off guard. Allen scored 28 off just 10 balls studded with 4 fours and 2 sixes.
