During the second Qualifier match of the ongoing Bangladesh Premier League 2022, Comilla Victorians’ and Windies star all-rounder Sunil Narine smashed the fastest half-century in the tournament’s history to power his team towards the grand finale with a 7- wicket win over the Chattogram Challengers.
Chasing the score of 148/10 posted by Chattogram, Narine took the field in a belligerent mood and went hammer and tongs at the opposition bowlers to bring up his half-century in mere 13 deliveries.
He was dismissed inside the Powerplay for sure, but not before he had left the other batters to only finish the formality as far as the match’s result was concerned.
The Southpaw was dismissed at the score of 57 off mere 16 deliveries, with the assistance of 5 Fours and 6 Sixes, hitting them at the strike rate of 356.25.
Moeen Ali (30* off 13) and Faf du Plessis (30* off 23) finished off the proceeding to seal the win with 7.1 Overs to spare.
The Comilla Victorians will now face the Fortune Barishal in the final.
