After struggling to get a wicket in the recently concluded T20 World Cup 2024, Pakistani all-rounder Shadab Khan has taken four wickets in two back-to-back matches as he regained form in the Lanka Premier League 2024 season.

Playing for Colombo Strikers, he scored 20 off 17 with the blade as Strikers totalled 198. Their opponents, Falcons, lost that match by 51 runs.

He was awarded player of the match for his bowling spell of 4 for 22 against Kandy Falcons at Pallekele International Cricket Stadium in Kandy, Sri Lanka.

In the next match, Shadab again bagged four wickets though in a lost cause, as Galle Marvels outperformed his team by seven runs on Wednesday.

The Colombo Strikers player took 4 for 21 at Pallekele International Cricket Stadium.
