Virender Sehwag

Former India opener Virender Sehwag's half century went in vain after his side Palace Diamonds suffered a six-wicket loss to the Shahid Afridi-led Royals in the first match of the inaugural St. Moritz Ice Cricket 2018 at the ski resort here on Thursday. Electing to bat after winning the toss, Palace Diamonds scored 164/9 in 20 overs, thanks to Sehwag's 31-ball 62, laced with four fours and five sixes. In response, Royals reached 166/4 in 15.4 overs with former England batsman, Owais Shah scoring 74.
