Texas Super Kings vs LA Knight Riders

As the Knight Riders came out to chase down the target, the side got off to a subpar start to the run chase as Alex Hales departed on a score of five runs. However, despite the short-lived innings, Hales went on to become the only player in T20 cricket history to hit 1500 fours.
