Skipper Andre Russell came up with excellent bowling effort as Rajshahi Royals restricted KhulnaTigers to 145-9 in their fourth match of the Bangabandhu Bangladesh Premier League (BBPL) at the Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium in Chattogram on Monday.
Russell, who deiced to send Mushfiqur Rahim-led Khulna in batting first, claimed 4-37 to lead the bowling and aptly supported by the other bowlers who maintained a tight line and length to make the life hell for the batsmen.
Kamrul Islam Rabbi and Ravi Bopara grabbed two wickets apiece to complement Russell.
Shamsur Rahman Shuvo was the highest scorer for Khulna with 46 ball-55, that designed with four fours and one six. In form Rilee Rossouw however failed to come up with big score this time but still made 35 off 24 with five fours and one six. Robbi Frylinck chipped-in-with 31 off 26.
Apart from these three batsmen, no one could reach double digit figure.
Khulna won three matches in four games while Rajshahi grabbed two in three matches so far in the tournament.
