Pooran’s 72 fails to stop Pollard’s Dynamites

West Indies left-hander Nicholas Pooran lashed a whirlwind half-century but it went in vain as Sylhet Sixers crashed to a 32-run defeat to star-studded leaders Dhaka Dynamites in the Bangladesh Premier League yesterday.

Asked to chase a challenging 174 at the Shere Bangla National Stadium, Sixers were slumping at 37 for five in the seventh over before Pooran arrived to unveil a superb 72 off 47 deliveries that came close to making a game of the contest.

The 23-year-old was in imperious form, blasting a four and nine sixes as he raced to his second successive half-century of the tournament, to extend his purple patch.
