In this match against Texas Super Kings, Seifert played a brilliant century by hitting fours and sixes all around the field. This is Tim Seifert’s first century in Major League Cricket.

Seifert returns to form after two consecutive ducks

The most interesting thing behind this century innings is the previous record of Tim Seifert. Seifert could not even open his account in his last two T20 matches played just before this match. He played both these matches for Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in the IPL, where he returned to the pavilion after being out at 0 twice in a row. There was a lot of pressure on him after flopping in two consecutive matches, but while opening in the very first match of MLC, he left this bad form behind and created havoc.
