Sumon 4-for seals Wolves whitewash

With Bangladesh Emerging Team pacer Sumon Khan rattling the stumps of Ireland Wolves' Peter Chase in the penultimate over, it was ensured that the visiting side would leave the country without a single win in the multi-format series.

Sumon's four-for helped Bangladesh bundle out Wolves for 154 in 18.1 overs after posting a commendable 184 for seven to register a 30-run victory over the visitors in their only T20 match at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium in Mirpur yesterday. The convincing victory also meant that the hosts bagged a clean series sweep -- a 4-0 win in the five-match one-day series with first match abandoned due to Irish pacer Ruhan Pretorius testing positive for Covid, an innings victory in the only four-dayer and the latest T20 triumph.

The visiting side, however, were scheduled to play one more T20, but it got cancelled due to Covid-19 travel protocols in Ireland concerning their transit country, the UAE, on their flight back home.
