Pakistan fast bowler Junaid Khan is impressing cricket lovers at the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL), after his three wickets helped his side Khulna Titans take down the Rajshahi Kings.

In a game that was dominated by bowlers, Khulna Titans emerged on top as fast bowler Junaid Khan 3 wickets for 26 runs and left arm spinner Taijul Islam 3 wickets for 10 runs bamboozled the Rajshahi Kings batting line.

The Kings went from 30 for 2 to 55 for 6 to 74 for 8 before eventually getting bowled out for 103 in chase of 128.

Titans' batsmen fared only marginally better, with a top score of 26 from No.7 Ariful Haque. Isuru Udana, Mehidy and Arafat Sunny picked two wickets each but their efforts eventually went in vain.

Khan who has so far taken four wickets in two matches at BPL, expressed satisfaction over his performance, and called for fans to keep supporting him.

The 29 years old speedster joined the Khulna Titans on January 11, after failing to make into Pakistan’s 16-man ODI squad against South Africa.
