Shakib, Bravo star in Dhaka’s comfortable victory

Shakib Al Hasan led from the front with his lower-order pyrotechnics before Dwayne Bravo bowled one of his typical T20 spells as Dhaka Dynamites breezed past bottom-placed Comilla Victorians a Bangladesh Premier League 2016 clash at the Shere Bangla National Stadium in Dhaka on Saturday (November 26).

Shakib’s 26-ball 41, studded with four fours and a six, in a 46-run fifth-wicket stand with Mosaddek Hossain (25 off 18) helped Dhaka notch up a competitive total of 170 before Bravo struck timely blows as Comilla could only manage a sorry 138 for 8 in their chase to succumb to their seventh defeat of the campaign.

Brief Scores: Dhaka Dynamites 170/4 in 20 overs (Shakib Al Hasan 41, Kumar Sangakkara 33; Rashid Khan 2-26) beat Comilla Victorians 138/8 in 20 overs (Khalid Latif 38, Ahmed Shehzad 22; Dwayne Bravo 3-32) by 32 runs.
