Shakib fails to make impact against Kandy in LPL

Galle Titans all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan struggled to make an impact with bat and ball against B-Love Kandy in the Lanka Premier League on Tuesday.

On a rare off-day at the Pallekelle International Cricket Stadium, Shakib conceded 31 runs in his three overs with the ball as Kandy piled on 203 for five.

In reply, Shakib, who came in at five, managed a 12-ball 11 run-knock that featured a solitary boundary. 

Leg-spinner Hasaranga de Silva floated one up and Shakib went for the big slog-sweep but ended up miscuing the shot as it fell to Fakhar Zaman at deep square leg leaving Galle six down for 47 in the ninth over.
