New Delhi. November 27 was not good for Mohammed Shami, who was trying to make a comeback in the Indian team after injury. Shami played for Bengal in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy on this day, in which his balls were beaten a lot. Mohammed Shami gave 46 runs in his spell of 4 overs against the novice team of Mizoram and could not take any wicket. However, Bengal managed to register its victory. In another match, Mumbai defeated Maharashtra by 5 wickets.
The Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy T20 tournament was contested between Bengal and Mizoram on Wednesday. Batting first in this match, Mizoram scored 157 runs for 4 wickets. On his behalf, Mohit Jangra played an inning of 80 runs. Agni Chopra scored 13 runs. From Bengal side, Kanishka Seth, Sayan Ghosh and Karan Lal gave one serious blow each.
Chasing the target of 158 runs, the Bengal team did not face much trouble in registering victory. Opener Abhishek Porel played an excellent inning of 81 runs in 45 balls. He also got good support from fellow opener Karan Lal. He scored 67 runs. Abhishek and Karan made a partnership of 131 runs in 12.4 overs for the first wicket.

Talking about Mohammed Shami, every Indian cricketer wants to see him play in the Australia tour. However, the Indian Cricket Board is in no such hurry. He first wants to be sure whether Shami is fit to play the Test match or not. After returning from injury, Shami has so far played one Ranji match and three Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy matches. He took 7 wickets in the Ranji match against Madhya Pradesh. After this, he has taken one wicket against Punjab and 3 wickets against Hyderabad in Mushtaq Ali Trophy.
