Bangladesh pace sensation Mustafizur Rahman made his mark again today, having possibly bowled the day’s most impressive delivery, as his team Sunrisers Hyderabad face Kolkata Knight Riders in their second match of Indian Premier League (IPL) at Hyderabad in India today.

Mustafizur nailed a yorker that swung in late, dipping under the ball and smashed the stumps of Andre Russell in the 14th over of KKR’s chase of 143 runs against Sunrisers.

He bowled four overs and picked up one wicket, chipping away 29 runs in a day of an otherwise dull performance by other Sunrisers bowlers.

KKR won the match comprehensively, chasing Sunrisers' score of 142 runs within 18.2 overs with eight wickets in hand.

Mustafizur played his second match in the season today after making his debut for Sunrisers Hyderabad in its first match against Royal Challengers Bangalore.

Mustafizur earlier made an impression by picking up two wickets for only 26 runs in his debut against Bangalore in a high-scoring match.

Bangladesh ace allrounder Shakib Al Hasan and Mustafizur faced each other in their teams’ clash in this match. However, Shakib did not need to bat today. 

Fans of Bangladesh cricket were eagerly waiting to see how this clash turns out between the duo, as they are the only two Bangladeshi cricketers playing in the IPL. 

Shakib played his first match in this season of the IPL today. He was benched in the previous two games of Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) against Delhi Daredevils and Mumbai Indians at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata.

Earlier in the match, Shakib bowled three overs without any wicket giving away 18 runs at an economy rate of 6.00 per over after Sunrisers skipper David Warner opted to bat first after winning the toss.

Sunrisers managed a total of 142 runs losing 7 wickets in 20 overs.
