Conway scored a massive 92* off 52 balls against the Punjab Kings, he punished PBKS bowlers with 16 fours and one sixes. When asked about his missed century from just 8 runs, he said that he was playing for his team rather than a milestone.
“Absolutely (on batting for the team and not for the 100). Good wicket. It was a little bit slow at the beginning when the bowlers hit the hard length. You have to be nice and clear whenever you go into bat,” Conway said.
