Tamim faces Shakib in key T20 match today

Bangladesh national skipper Shakib Al Hasan’s Worcestershire will face vice captain Tamim Iqbal’s Nottinghamshire in the Friends Life T20 at Trent Bridge today.

This is the second clash between the two teams with Notts winning the first match back in july 5.

The Notts Outlaws have to beat Worcestershire Royals today stay top in the North Group of the Friends Life T20 after losing out to Lancashire in a rain-reduced encounter at Old Trafford.

Bangladesh opener Tamim Iqbal has scored 104 runs in four matches in the Notts outfit, and has so far justified himself in David Hussey’s spot. Sources confirmed that the club officials are happy from his service so far which might be rewarded with a full year contract next season. But today the pressure will be on the left handed batsman as it will be his last appearance according to the contract.

On the other hand, Shakib who was judged man of the match in his last appearance will be determined to apply his tricks today at the Trent Bridge to help his side bag a win that will allow Worcester to stick to the fourth position of the North Group.

The match is scheduled to start at midnight.
