The Sydney Thunder have strolled to a six-wicket win over a Bangladesh Cricket Board XI at Spotless Stadium in their KFC Big Bash League warm-up.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
After winning the toss and electing to bat, Bangladesh captain Mushfiquir Rahim may have been regretting his decision after his side fell to 2-6 after two overs.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Despite the support from a Bangladesh dominated crowd of 5,500, the wickets continued to tumble as the pace trio of Pat Cummins, Gurinder Sandhu and Clint McKay continued to attack.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The visitors reached 5-50 at the half way mark of their innings with no batsmen able to form any lengthy partnerships.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Arjun Nair was the pick of the Thunder bowlers with his turn and drift outsanding; his dismissal of Mominul Haque was one of the highlights of the match.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
After giving the ball some flight, it drifted and turned away from the left-handed batsman who was cleaned bowled.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Bangladesh fought back late in their innings as Narul Hasan (35 off 27 balls) helped the tourists post a respectable 8-122 from their 20 overs.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Openers Jay Lenton and Ryan Gibson made a cautious start to the chase, enduring some torrid bowling to combine for an opening stand of 48 before Lenton was dismissed for a 24-ball 25.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Gibson was joined at the crease by captain Eoin Morgan, the pair adding nine runs before the former was dismissed for a composed 25, while Jake Doran didn\u2019t last long, caught for one off the bowling of Tanbir.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Aidan Blizzard joined Morgan and the two added 20 for the fourth wicket before Blizzard (12) was bowled by Shubashis.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Morgan (33no for 34) continued on his merry way, guiding the Thunder to victory as he and Arjun Nair (17 off 15) combined for an unbroken fifth-wicket partnership of 43.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
