Shakib Al Hasan's Los Angeles Knight Riders Struggle in Major League Cricket

Shakib Al Hasan's team, the Los Angeles Knight Riders, is facing a series of defeats in the Major League Cricket (MLC) tournament. Currently, the team is placed fifth in the six-team tournament after consecutive losses. Last night, they suffered a heavy defeat by 8 wickets against the table-toppers Washington Freedom. Shakib failed to contribute both with the bat and the ball.

On a day when his team lost, Shakib Al Hasan had a dismal performance. He was dismissed for a duck, bowled by Glenn Maxwell. With the ball, Shakib did not make an impact either, failing to complete his quota of 4 overs and conceding 29 runs in his 3 overs.

This marks the third consecutive loss for the Los Angeles Knight Riders in the MLC tournament. Batting first against Washington Freedom, the Knight Riders managed to score only 129 runs, losing all their wickets before completing the allotted overs. Alongside Shakib, opener Sunil Narine also scored a duck. Another opener, Jason Roy, managed to score just 12 runs. David Miller scored only 1 run, and Andre Russell contributed 20 runs.

In response, Washington Freedom chased down the target comfortably with 4 overs to spare, losing only 2 wickets. Captain Steve Smith remained unbeaten on 42 runs, while Travis Head played a commanding innings of 54 runs, hitting 6 sixes.

Shakib Al Hasan and his team need to regroup and find a way to turn their fortunes around in the remaining matches of the tournament.
