India’s star pacer Mohammed Shami set up Bengal’s comfortable win against Meghalaya with a measly spell in their Group A contest in the Syed Mushtaq Ali T20 Trophy on Sunday.
Shami continued to take giant strides in his comeback trail as he produced a sharp spell of 4-0-16-0 to help Bengal restrict Meghalaya to a modest 127 for six.
Bengal won by six wickets and 49 balls to spare at the Niranjan Shah Stadium.
Arien Sangma (37) and Larry Sangma (38) staged a recovery for Meghalaya with the bat.
In reply, Bengal stuttered when three of their batters got out for ducks but Abhisek Porel’s 31-ball 61, with nine fours and two sixes, combined with Writtick Chatterjee’s 25 not out, took them past the target.
