Shakib Al Hasan's Kerala Kings overhauled Bengal Tigers total of 86 with two overs to spare.

The Tigers were sent in to bat first in the T10 game at Sharjah and opener Johnson Charles's 27-ball 33 powered them to 86 runs for the loss of just one wicket.

 

However, Kerala Kings batsman ensured an easy victory for his team as his blinding 27-ball 66 with 10 boundaries and three sixes saw the Tigers get to their target in just eight overs with eight wickets in hand.

Shakib Al Hasan bowled one over for five runs and did not have to come out to bat.
