Harmanjot Singh was as good as single-handedly helped Germany beat France by two wickets in the rain-interrupted Match 3 of the Germany T20 tri-series, in Krefeld.
Chasing 95 in 18 overs after the scheduled start was delayed because of rain, Harmanjot hit 11 fours and a six in his unbeaten 34-ball 68 not out to guide Germany reach the target with 34 balls to spare. None of his teammates reached more than 7.
