Mashrafe takes five-for in Legend's 4th straight win in DPL

On his first match in this season of Dhaka Premier League (DPL), Mashrafe Bin Mortaza claimed 5-19 to guide Legends of Rupganj to a six-wicket win over Gazi Group Cricketers at BKSP-3 ground in Savar on Thursday, reports BSS.

This was Legend's fourth straight victory in the league. Mashrafe was absent in Legend's first three matches and his participation in fact in this DPL was in limbo due to his political commitment.

Mominul Haque who led the side in the first three matches then joined national team for a Test series against Sri Lanka, creating leadership void.

In the awkward situation of the side, Mashrafe, however, decided to take part and made a history on his first appearance.

Thanks to his five-wicket haul, Legend bowled Gazi Group out for just 136 in 35.4 overs. Abdul Halim took two wicket to play a second fiddle to Mashrafe.
