Texas Chargers openers Mohammad Hafeez and Mukhtar Ahmed took 10 runs in the first over, bowled by their Pakistani compatriot Najaf Shah, in a US Masters T10 League 2023 match at Central Broward Regional Park Stadium in Lauderhill.

Morrisville Unity captain Harbhajan Singh asked S Sreesanth to bowl the second over. After Mukhtar ran a single off the first ball, Hafeez hit the second ball to mid-wicket, where Chris Gayle pouched the hard-hit ball.

After Ben Dunk ran a single, Mukhtar went for a slog, and was caught by Obus Pienaar at deep extra cover.

Darren Stevens (36 in 18 balls) then led an onslaught, and Texas raced to 94-4 after eight overs. When Sreesanth returned, Stevens hit the first ball for six, but Sreesanth had his revenge, dismissing Stevens and Upul Tharanga with the next three balls.

He finished with 4-12 in two overs, and Texas with 109-7. In response, Morrisville could only reach 75-8 as no one other than Shehan Jayasuriya (22 in 16 balls) and Corey Anderson (16 not out in 17) reached double figures.

For Texas, Hafeez finished with 3-10, Sohail Tanvir with 2-8, and Fidel Edwards with 2-10 in their respective two overs.
