Pakistani bowlers are shining at the ongoing Bangladesh Premier League (BPL), after fast bowler Junaid Khan picked up four wickets for his side on Tuesday.

Junaid, representing the Khulna Titans, dented the Rajshahi Kings batting line, picking up the top order, including Mominul Haque and DJ Bell Drummond on 5 and 0, respectively. However, a fight-back from the Kings lower middle order, ensured the side to reach a respectable 166 for the loss of eight wickets in 20 overs.

Meanwhile, Junaid blistered the Khulna tail, in the later stages claiming scalps of skipper Darren Sammy and fellow Pakistani fast bowler Mohammad Sami on 3 and 3, respectively, claiming his career fifth 4-wicket haul.

Earlier, Pakistan fast bowler Hasan Ali added another feat to his T20 career after becoming only the second bowler in T20 history to dismiss five batsmen bowled in a match.

The feat was achieved on Monday at BPL, where Hasan, representing the Comilla Victorians, bamboozled the batting line of the Dhaka Dynamites. The number one ODI bowler showcased his skill at Dhaka with impressive bowling figures of 5 for 20, for which he was awarded the Man of the Match award.
