Shah scored 64 runs in just 24 balls to help Comilla Victorians post 184-4 in the allotted 20 overs against Dhaka Dominators. His knock included seven fours and five sixes.

Shah’s teammate and Pakistan’s wicketkeeper-batter Mohammad Rizwan also contributed with 55 runs in 47 balls. The right-hander’s innings included one four and three sixes.
On January 14, Victorians flew in Rizwan via helicopter ahead of their match against Fortune Barishal.
According to Bangladesh daily Prothom Alo, Rizwan arrived in Dhaka at 10:20am, local time, and then boarded a helicopter, which landed at the Women's Sports Complex ground beside the Zahur Ahmed Chowhdury Stadium in Chattogram at 12:45pm.
The Pakistan star landed around an hour before the match and was named in the playing XI.
After featuring in BPL, Shah and Rizwan will play for the Multan Sultans in the Pakistan Super League (PSL).
