Faded Shakib Al Hasan, Second Consecutive Loss for the Team in Major League Cricket
In the Major League Cricket (MLC) tournament, Shakib Al Hasan's team, Los Angeles Knight Riders, faced their second consecutive defeat. Batting first in Dallas, the Los Angeles Knight Riders scored 168 runs against the Seattle Orcas. In response, Seattle Orcas chased down the target with one ball to spare, losing just one wicket and winning by 9 wickets.
Shakib Al Hasan had a lackluster performance on the day of his team's defeat. He was caught at short fine leg off a leg-stump full toss from Harmit Singh, departing after scoring just 7 runs off 7 balls.
Shakib also failed to make a significant impact with the ball. He did not complete his quota of 4 overs, conceding 23 runs in 2 overs without taking a wicket. This was in contrast to his decent batting performances in the first two matches, where he scored 18 runs in the first match and 35 runs in the second.
Batting first, Los Angeles lost opener Sunil Narine early. Jason Roy anchored one end while batsmen like Unmukt Chand and Shakib Al Hasan could not stay long. Jason Roy was dismissed for 69 runs off 52 balls, hitting 4 sixes and 5 fours, with the team at 118 runs.
In the later part of the innings, David Miller's quickfire 44 off 22 balls provided a fighting total for Los Angeles. Andre Russell contributed 14 runs off 10 balls. For Seattle, Harmit Singh and Zaman Khan took 2 wickets each.
Chasing a target of 169, Seattle Orcas came close to victory with ease, thanks to Ryan Rickelton's century. The partnership of 152 runs between Ryan Rickelton and Quinton de Kock helped Seattle reach the target. Both batsmen remained unbeaten, with Rickelton scoring 103 runs off 66 balls and de Kock making 51 runs off 46 balls, leading their team to victory.
