Shakib returns to his rhythm in the Caribbean Premier League

He fell for ‘golden duck’ in the first two matches. But since the name is Shakib Al Hasan, the team’s demand on this name is probably always a bit high. Shakib’s all-round performance with bat and ball means the team’s victory. The Bangladeshi all-rounder proved it once again in the Caribbean Islands. Shakib’s side face Trinbago Knight Riders at the Providence Stadium in Guyana on Sunday in the 28th match of the CPL. Shakib’s team won there.

The world’s best all-rounder proved himself as soon as he got a chance in the best eleven. Shakib played an innings of 35 runs off 25 balls in T20 style for Guyana, who lost the toss and batted first. The innings of 140 strike-rate had 4 fours and 1 six.

Shakib’s team also got a big collection of 173 runs. Later, Shakib also shined with the ball. In the fifth over of the innings, Shakib struck the opponent’s camp first. On his fourth delivery, he trapped Trinbago opener Tim Seifert’s leg before.

Then Shakib killed another devastating batsman, Andre Russell. Russell, who scored 12 runs off 8 balls, was caught by the wicketkeeper Rahmanullah Gurbaz at the ball of the world’s best all-rounder before becoming terrifying. Besides, Shakib bowled out Sunil Narine who scored 19 runs off 12 balls.

Bowling four overs, Shakib gave only 20 runs. Shakib did not only play well with bat and ball. Shakib was like a hawk in fielding today. Trinbago’s key batsman Nicholas Pooran became run out on his direct throw. Shakib also won the Man of the Match award due to his all-aroundr performance in the entire match.
