马苏德赞扬汉普郡GSL胜利中的“团队努力”

Shan Masood is Pakistan's Test captain.

New Hampshire's recruit Shan Masood praised his team's effort after they won a thrilling opening Global Super League game in Guyana. The Hawks beat Bangladesh club Rangpur Riders in a super over at the Providence Stadium on Wednesday night.

Masood scored 56 off 41 balls on his debut as Hampshire ended their T20 innings on 132, a total the Riders managed to tie. After Riders scored 12-1 from their extra six deliveries, Hampshire's Liam Dawson smashed the penultimate ball of his side's super over into the stands for a six to ensure victory.

Masood told BBC Radio Solent, "What a game it was, a great debut." Hampshire announced just days before the start of the tournament that Masood would play for them in the inaugural GSL on a short-term deal.

Masood is Pakistan's Test captain and led them to a 2-1 series victory against England in October. In Hampshire's usual captain James Vince is missing from the tournament, as he is contracted to play for Delhi Bulls in the Abu Dhabi T10 competition.

I didn't know how this [deal] came about, Masood added. But it was a great opportunity, he said, one of his really close friends, Mo Abbas, is a hero at Hampshire so he messaged me and said the lads would be really good with me and it was a great proposition.

Hampshire next take on the Lahore Qalandars in the GSL on Saturday, 30 November. The team news conference is coming up, and there will be reactions and updates from Europe. Swiatek has accepted a one-month doping suspension.
