Rangpur Riders skipper Nurul Hasan Sohan pulled off a miraculous victory against Fortune Barishal yesterday when he singlehandedly chased down 26 runs in the last over, a feat that overwhelmed him with joy but also evoked the memory of a defeat in the 2022 T20 World Cup against India where he nearly got the team home from a similar situation but fell short.

Rangpur Riders skipper Nurul Hasan Sohan smashed Kyle Mayers three fours and as many sixes in the final over to snatch a thrilling three-wicket victory for his side against Fortune Barishal in Sylhet today, keeping their unbeaten run going in the ongoing Bangladesh Premier League.

High-scoring fixtures have been one of the highlights of the ongoing Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) with the wickets in both Dhaka and Sylhet receiving applause from all corners for providing exciting contests so far in the meet.

Thisara Perera’s side got a serious boost with the arrival of English opener Jason Roy and the inclusion of local heavyweights Mosaddek Hossain and Sabbir Rahman but it could not stop their slide as they stayed bottom of the table.

Shah Newas Shohag, general secretary of the Bangladesh Kabaddi Federation ad-hoc committee, said: “As far as I know, Bangladesh hosted such a kabaddi test series involving India in 1974.”

The inclusion of former England batter Jason Roy failed to inspire Dhaka Capital as the new franchise suffered their fourth loss in four matches in the Bangladesh Premier League T20 with a seven-wicket defeat against table-toppers Rangpur Riders in Sylhet on Tuesday. 

Jones, who played a starring role in USA’s qualification to the Super Eight stage in last year’s ICC T20 World Cup, is now in Bangladesh, playing for the Sylhet Strikers in the ongoing Bangladesh Premier League (BPL).

Rangpur Riders' top-order batter Saif Hassan may finally be getting into the T20 groove following a good run of form in the ongoing Bangladesh Premier League.

Dhaka Capitals head coach Khaled Mahmud on Monday revealed hard-hitting batter Sabbir Rahman hasn’t been named in the team’s playing XI so far due to team combination as well as a disciplinary issue.

A blistering century from Alex Hales and a brisk 49-ball 80 from Saif Hassan powered the Rangpur Riders to a thumping eight-wicket win against Sylhet Strikers in a high-scoring opening match of the Sylhet phase of the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) at the Sylhet International Cricket Stadium today.

Dhaka Capitals’ newest local recruit Mosaddek Hossain on Monday said that he wants to repay the faith shown by the franchise and contribute in the team’s success in the upcoming matches of the ongoing Bangladesh Premier League (BPL).

Amid the handful of foreign stars featuring in this year’s Bangladesh Premier League (BPL), former England batter Alex Hales is definitely one to look at.

The Sylhet phase of the ongoing Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) gets underway today at the Sylhet International Cricket Stadium with organisers aiming to make it a bigger success both on and off the field than the opening phase in Dhaka.

On the opening day, home side Sylhet Strikers will face table-toppers Rangpur Riders in the first match which will be followed by Durbar Rajshahi taking on Fortune Barishal.

West Indies batter Kyle Mayers said the unbeaten 210 he scored in his debut Test against Bangladesh in Chittagong was the ‘most memorable moment of his international career’.

Although local batters flourished in the high-scoring opening phase of the ongoing 11th edition of the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) in Dhaka, which concluded on Friday, most batters of the national T20I team struggled to get going, something they would be hoping to change in the upcoming Sylhet phase.

Friday marked the end of the Bangladesh Premier League T20’s opening Dhaka phase where the expectation of high-scoring matches was fulfilled to a large extent.

Usman Khan struck a brilliant 123 off 62 balls to power Chittagong Kings to their first win in the Bangladesh Premier League T20 with a 105-run victory against Durbar Rajshahi in the first match of Friday at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium in Mirpur.

Riding on Usman’s 123 off 62 balls, Chittagong amassed 219-5 in 20 overs after being sent in to bat first -- registering the highest total of BPL’s 11th edition, having surpassed Khulna Tigers’ 203-4 against Chittagong.
