Rajshahi Kings 150 for 3 (Zakir 51*, Mominul 42) beat Sylhet Sixers 146 for 6 (Sabbir 41, Gunathilaka 40, Williams 2-32) v by seven wickets
Rajshahi Kings came back to winning ways as they defeated Sylhet Sixers by seven wickets. It was all homegrown players to the fore as little-known Zakir Hasan struck his maiden BPL fifty after Mominul Haque and Mehidy Hasan had done enough to set up the win.
Zakir struck an unbeaten 51 off 26 balls, hitting four fours and three sixes, and shared a 53-run unbroken fourth-wicket stand with Mushfiqur Rahim who scored 25 off 20 balls.
Sylhet had earlier put up 146 for 6 mostly because of Sabbir’s late charge – 41 off 26 balls that included four sixes – after Danushka Gunathilaka contributed with a 37-ball 40 with four fours and two sixes. Kesrick Williams took two wickets but it was Mehidy and James Franklin who put the brakes on Sylhet’s charge.
