Karthik wreaked havoc in the 18th over by Dwayne Pretorius. Changing his maneuvers at the crease, he hit 6, 4, 4 off three consecutive balls of Pretorius. 16, 13, 16 runs came from the last 3 overs. Karthik completed his fifty in 26 balls, scoring runs at a strike rate of 200. He completed 50 runs by hitting a six off a ball from Pretorius. However, he got out in the process of blowing the next ball in the air again. There was a fast-paced 65-run partnership between Hardik and Karthik.
