Barishal restricted to 152-9 after Shahidul’s four-for
DHAKA, Nov 24, 2020 (BSS) – Shahidul Islam claimed 4-17 in a gem of
pace bowling as Fortune Barishal was restricted to a moderate 152-9 in
their first match against Gemcon Khulna in the Bangabandhu T20 Cup at
Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium on Tuesday.
Shahidul indeed took the spotlight on him on a day when Shakib Al
Hasan returned to cricket. The ace all-rounder bowled three overs for
Khulna and didn’t fare badly. He conceded 18 runs to take one wicket
after coming to bowl in a competitive match after more than one year.
Being sent to bat first, Fortune Barishal received a setback early
in the innings as their experiment with Mehidy Hasan Miraz as opener
didn’t bring any good result after he was dismissed for naught.
Skipper Tamim Iqbal also was out with run-a-ball-15 after which
young Parvez Hossain Emon took the onus. Emon was the highest scorer
for the side with 42 ball-51 that included three fours and four sixes.
Towhid Ridoy made 25 ball-27 to accompany Emon, but the dismissal
of the duo slowed down Barishal innings.
Wicket-keeper batsman Mohidul Islam Ankan however hammered 10
ball-21 to help the side propel past 150 runs mark.
Apart from Shahidul’s four, Shafiul Islam and Hasan Mahmud took two
wickets apiece.
Brief Score:
Fortune Barishal 152-9 in 20 overs (Parvez Emon 51, Towhid Ridoy
27, Mohidul Ankan 21; Shahidul 4-17, Shafiul 2-32, Hasan Mahmud 2-45,
Shakib 1-18)
