Priyanshu-Sudip show overshadows Shahbaz'
brilliance in Bengal Pro T20 League


18th June 2024
Shahbaz Ahmed's brilliant knock of 90 off just 51 balls went in vain as Shrachi Rarh Tigers lost to Rashmi Medinipur Wizards by 8 wickets in the Bengal Pro T20 League at the Eden Gardens on Tuesday.
Coming in to bat with team in a spot of bother at 19/3 inside 5 overs, Shahbaz played a captain's knock from there on, while he also saw his partners fall all around him as they lost half the side for 72.
Despite running out of partners, Shahbaz went on the counter-attacking mode to help Rarh Tigers post 148/7 in 20 overs.
In his knock, Shahbaz hit 8 boundaries and five massive sixes.
For Medinipur Wizards, Anubhav Tyagi bagged 3 for 35.
Chasing a challenging target, Medinipur Wizards suffered an early setback with the dismissal of Wriddhiman Saha (0) in the second ball of their innings.
However, Priyanshu Shrivastava (75 not out off 56) and Sudip Chatterjee (50 not out off 26) combined perfectly to power Medinipur Wizards over the line comfortably, scoring 149/2 in 17 overs.
After his heroics with the bat, Shahbaz also bagged a wicket later on.
