BPL 2019: 5 best batting performances in the first phase of the tournament

#2 Hazratullah Zazai (78 off 48 against Rajshahi Kings)

Afghan batsman Hazratullah Zazai hit two fifties in his first two matches of BPL

Hazratullah Zazai, the 20-year-old Afghanistan batsman, has played only two ODIs and three T20Is for his country. He has proved his batting ability during the inaugural Afghanistan Premier League (APL) last year.

The Afghan southpaw impressed the spectators of BPL in his first two appearances when he hit two consecutive half-centuries for the former BPL champions Dhaka Dynamites. He hit 78 in his BPL debut against Rajshahi Kings at Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium.

During his innings, he hit seven sixes and four fours. He opened the innings for Dhaka with their West Indian recruit Sunil Narine. The explosive-duo added 116 runs in 10.4 over in the opening stand that helped the Dhaka win the game by a big margin of 83 runs.
