Chris Gayle hit his second half century in two days……a quick-fire 51……as his team Rangpur Riders registered a tight 3 run win over the Dhaka Dynamites in the Bangladesh T/20 Premier League in Dhaka.
Man of the match Gayle who faced 28 balls, struck 5 fours and 4 sixes to guide the Riders to 142 all out from their 20 overs.
Sunil Narine and Kieron Pollard were wicketless bowling for the Dynamites.
Evin Lewis was among the leading batsmen in the Dynamites reply with 28, while Narine fell for a first ball duck and Pollard got 12 from 14 balls as the Dynamites were bowled out for 139, making it only the second time in BPL history that both teams have been all out in a game.
The Rajshahi Kings despite a whirlwind 62 from 36 balls by Dwayne Smith….went down by 2 wickets to Chadwick Walton’s Khulna Titans
Smith smashed 7 fours and 4 sixes as the Kings totalled 166 for 8 from their 20 overs with Darren Sammy contributing just 3 after facing five balls.
Smith then picked up 1 wicket for 26 runs while Walton fell cheaply for 4 as the Titans rushed to victory at 168 for 8.
