Thanks a lot for joining me, Mohul Bhowmick, for this exciting game of cricket in the Bangladesh Premier League that went down to the last over. Shoaib Malik and Mehidy Hasan Miraz ended up being the heroes for Fortune Barishal, and made Khulna Tigers taste defeat for the first time in this tournament. Hope you have a happy weekend. Until next time, ciao!
Fortune Barishal beat Khulna Tigers by 5 wickets!
Shoaib Malik 41* (25) | Faheem Ashraf 3-18 Mohammad Nawaz 38* (23) | Taijul Islam 2-7
Shoaib Malik turned out to be the hero for Barishal in this game and ended up taking them over the line in the last over. To be fair, Dasun Shanaka was a rather poor choice from Anamul Haque to go to for the final over, and he ended up conceding eighteen runs by the fourth ball itself.
Mehidy Hasan Miraz too played a scintillating knock to bring some momentum into the Barishal innings, and Malik put the finishing touches to it. Khulna will be extremely disappointed with this loss given that they were leading it for most parts. This is also their first loss of the tournament.
