He kept his word. Shakib Al Hasan wanted to play more Dhaka Premier Cricket League matches to prepare himself before the last 2 matches of the 5-match series against Zimbabwe. He has played not one or two but three matches for his club Sheikh Jamal Dhanmondi.
Shakib didn’t do bad by the standards of individual craft. However, looking at his team Sheikh Jamal Dhanmondi Club, Shakib’s Super League play has not had any positive impact on the team. Sheikh Jamal lost all the 3 matches he played against Shakib Abahani, Gazi Group and Prime Bank.
However, Shakib got runs in the first 2 games with the bat. On the first day, he scored 49 runs with Abahani and in the next match, Gazi gave a 79-ball 107-run century innings against the group.
But Shakib did not spend his last day in the Premier Super League this Monday. Shakib’s day at the Khan Saheb Osman Ali Stadium in Fatullah began by throat-snapping an autograph seeker. Later, he got 2 wickets for 42 runs with the ball but failed with the bat. Went back to zero runs, that too in the first ball.
Prime Bank made a collection of 270 runs by the two established batsmen Zakir Hasan (85 from 95 balls) and Mushfiqur Rahim (78 from 94 balls) in Fatulla on Monday.
In response, Shakib’s Sheikh Jamal Dhanmondi Club was bowled out for just 71 runs by pacer Rezaur Rahman Raja’s record bowling (8/23).
Tamim Iqbal, Mushfiqur Rahim’s Prime Bank got the third place in the last match with a huge victory of 199 runs. On the other hand, Shakib-Sohan’s Sheikh Jamal, Tanjid Tamim and Rishad’s Shinepukur and Habibur Rahman Sohan’s and Anisul Islam Emon’s Gazi Group came to the Super League and won one match each.
