BPL 2019: 5 best matches in Bangladesh Premier League history

#2 Sylhet Superstars vs Dhaka Dynamites (2015)

Shahid Afridi won the match for Sylhet Superstars in the last over

Shahid Afridi has been well-known in the world of cricket for his smashing power with the bat. He has the ability to smash every ball for a boundary without any fear of losing his wicket. For his special ability, he is even nicknamed as BOOM BOOM Afridi. This batting style helped him in winning a nail-biting thriller for his side during the BPL 2015.

While batting first, Dhaka Dynamites managed to score 157 runs on the board. The score seemed to be achievable for Sylhet Superstars as they had some high profile players in their side. But due to a collapse in the middle order, the match went on till the last over and ended out to be one of the closest encounters in the history of BPL.

Sylhet Superstars required 8 runs from the last 3 balls with Shahid Afridi at the striker’s end. Afridi did the unimaginable and hit a six on the leg side which turned the game in favor of his team. Shahid Afridi didn’t stop here as he smashed one more six on the same side and stole the match for his team which seemed impossible at a moment.
