Watch- Haris Rauf treated like a schoolboy, torn apart into pieces by Shehan Jayasuriya in MLC 2024

Pakistan’s star pacer Haris Rauf has been targeted by the batters across the format, no matter what the format, domestic or international cricket, he has been facing an onslaught, and the United States Major League Cricket (MLC) was not different. Rauf is currently representing the San Francisco Unicorns (SFU) in the ongoing Major League Cricket 2024 (MLC 2024).

Well, this time Sri Lankan batter Shehan Jayasuriya left Rauf stunned yet angry with his amazing shot in the 13th match of the ongoing MCL 2024 between the San Francisco Unicorns (SFU) and Seattle Orcas (SOR) at the Church Street Park in Morrisville.

San Francisco Unicorns won the MLC 2024 match, but Shehan Jayasuriya's stunning shot stole the show

Opening alongside Ryan Rickelton (29) for the Seattle Orcas (SOR), Jayasuriya played a brilliant knock, but his fifty was not enough, as the San Francisco Unicorns (SFU) won the MCL 2024 game by 23 runs at Church Street Park in Morrisville. It was the Seattle Orcas’ (SOR) fourth defeat in the tournament.

Well, the 32-year-old left-hander smoked seven fours and two sixes during his brilliant knock of 54 runs off 37 deliveries before being dismissed by Australian captain and star pacer Pat Cummins in the MLC 2024 game.

Coming back to Jayasuriya’s amazing shot off Rauf, the spectators and fans got to see one of the best shots of the league in the sixth over of the Seattle Orcas’ (SOR) innings against the San Francisco Unicorns (SFU).

Rauf delivered a short-of-a-length ball outside the off-stump. Jayasuriya, having anticipated such a delivery, went for an unconventional stance. He executed a daring reverse scoop, timing it perfectly to send the ball effortlessly over the wicketkeeper's head for a boundary.

The Pakistan pacer, stunned by the audacity of the shot, glared at the Sri Lankan batter before turning back to his run-up. Rauf returned wicketless while conceding 30 runs from his four overs, but his San Francisco Unicorns (SFU) won the match by 23 runs to record their second win of the ongoing MCL 2024.

However, the video of the Pakistani pacer being the victim of Jayasuriya's reverse shot was all over the internet, with fans finding it funny and not surprised by his hammering even in the new T20 league.

Corey Anderson happy with San Francisco Unicorns' efforts against Seattle Orcas

Meanwhile, San Francisco Unicorns (SFU) captain Corey Anderson said at the post-match presentation, “Pretty good result. The boys did a great job in the back end of the batting innings and then came out strong with the ball.” Praising Sanjay Krishnamurthi for his quick cameo of 30 runs off 21 balls, the skipper said: “He’s a young kid who's got so much talent. Huge pluses for him today. It was a pretty big inning in the context of the game. 30 runs in a game like this is huge.”

Anderson signed off by saying, “Pat Cummins is a world-class player; just having him in the group speaking cricket calms the group. Great for the balance of the team as well. We want to try and win every game; we go back to Dallas, and we want to reassess quickly, so hopefully we can get a bit of momentum out of this one.”
