Bangladesh speedster Mustafizur Rahman bagged four wickets on his Natest T20 blast debut as his team Sussex Sharks clinched a 24-run win over Essex Eagles on Thursday.
The pace sensation did not have much time to get prepapred for the match after flying in from Dhaka, but any doubts of he suffering from a jet lag was put to bed by a Mustafiz masterclass.
After a Chris Jordan tornedo, in which he hit five sixes in a 21-ball 45, and decent contributions from the top-order helped Sussex post 200 batting first, the Satkhira lad derailed Essex’s charge, as their middle and lower order had no answer to Mustafiz’s swing.
In his four overs, ‘The Fizz’ conceded only 23 runs, bowling a remarkable 15 dots.
Opener Dan Lawrence was the highest scorer for Essex with a 36 while Ravi Bopara made 32, but they were always second best to a certain Bangladeshi.
