The batting line of the Super Stars collapsed as none could score double figure except Sohail Tanvir (20 off 17). In addition four of the Super Stars’s batsmen have sent to pavilion without scoring.
Arafat Sunny was the successful bowler for the Riders as he grabbed 4 wickets just for 14 runs. Ace all rounder Shakib Al Hassan picked up 2 for 25 runs while Mohammad Nabi took 3 wickets for 15 runs.
Skipper Shakib Al Hasan brought Arafat Sunny to open the bowling and Sunny potently paid the decision by sending back both the openers of Super Stars in consecutive overs.
Sunny shattered the stumps of Dilshan Munaweera in the fifth delivery of his first over before Munaweera opened his account.
Junaid Siddique’s forceful defense ended up being caught by the bowler Arafat Sunny in his next over. Siddique scored 5 runs playing 6 balls with a four.
Sunny picked up the most important wicket of Mushfiqur Rahim (9 off 10 balls) in the fifth over of the match.
Super Stars’ slightest hope diminished when Mohammad Mithun stumped the Pakistani super star off the delivery of Shakib Al Hasan. Afridi’s 3 ball innings ended up in a single four.
