Cricket: Strong Gayle fails to overpower Dhaka
[[IMAGE: Gayle’s 61-ball 116, scored with the help of 11 sixes and six fours, went in vain.]] A brilliant century by Chris Gayle – his second of the event – was not enough to pull off a win for the Barisal Burners as the Dhaka Gladiators secured a 21-run win in the Bangladesh Premier League. Gayle’s 61-ball 116, scored with the help of 11 sixes and six fours, went in vain as no other batsman apart from Mithun Ali (35) was able to provide him the needed support to overhaul the Gladiators’ mammoth 208 for five. The two put together a 103-run stand for the third wicket off just 59 deliveries, hitting Dhaka’s bowlers all over the park. However, two wickets each for Azhar Mahmood and Mashrafe Murtaza helped restrict Barisal to 187 for five. Earlier, Mahmood had starred with the bat as well, scoring an unbeaten of 77 off just 47 deliveries, carting the Barisal bowlers for eight boundaries and three sixes. Imran Nazir scored an equally entertaining 58 as Dhaka put up a huge total. Yasir Arafat and Kabir Ali picked up two wickets each for Barisal.
