Shakib shines in with allround performance in CPL

    DHAKA, Sept 26, 2022 (BSS)- Ace allrounder Shakib Al Hasan came up with a
sterling allround performance as Guyana Amazon Warriors whacked table-toppers
Barbados Royals past by five wickets at the Providence Stadium in Guyana
today.

    The victory helped them qualify for the Qualifier 1 of the 2022 Caribbean
Premier League (CPL).

    After taking 1-12 in bowling, Shakib showed his best in batting, striking
a 30 ball-53 with five fours and three sixes.

    Royals were asked to bat but the visitors' batting line-up tasted a
collapse to be bundled out for 125 in 17.3 overs.

    Jason Holder was the highest scorer for the Royals with a 39-ball 42, an
innings laced with three maximums.

    In reply, Warriors also had a horrible start but opener Rahmanullah
Gurbaz stitched a staggering 79-run partnership with Shakib off 44 balls.

    Shakib hammered 53 before giving away his wicket to Obed McCoy.

    Thanks to Shakib, Warriors cruised to a five-wicket victory with 33 balls
remaining in hand.

    Shakib Al Hasan was adjudged the player-of-the-match for a second
consecutive game. Both teams will meet again in Qualifier 1 on Tuesday.
