Denly helps Dhaka reach BPL final
Friday 8th December 2017
Kent batsman Joe Denly hit a quick-fire 32 as Dhaka Dynamites reached the Bangladesh Premier League final.
The 2017 Kent men’s player of the year hit two fours and a six as the 2016 champions posted 191/7 against league leaders Comilla Victorians.
Evin Lewis (47), Kieron Pollard (31) and Shahid Afridi (30) made valuable contributions.
New-ball Bangladeshi duo Mosaddek Hossain and Shakib Al Hasan did early damage and took two wickets each, Sunil Narine claimed 1/9 in three overs and Afridi completed a fine all-round match with 3/16 in four overs.
Comilla will get a second chance to reach the final when they play Rangpur Riders, featuring Chris Gayle, in the final eliminator for a chance to play Dhaka in the final in Mirpur on Tuesday (midday GMT).
