Shahbaz Ahmed’s all-round heroics put Bengal on top

Shahbaz Ahmed’s all-round exploits and Pradipta Pramanik’s impressive four-wicket haul helped Bengal swat aside Chhattisgarh by 53 runs. Shahbaz top-scored with a stroke-filled 48 not out off 28 as Bengal finished with a decent 161/5. In reply, Chhattisgarh were bowled out for just 108 in 18.5 overs. Shahbaz and Akash Deep bagged two wickets each while Pramanik (4 for 13) bagged his maiden four-wicket haul in T20 cricket.
