BPL 2022: Mrittunjoy picks three in three as Chattogram Challengers beat Sylhet Sunrisers

Chattogram Challengers defeated Sylhet Sunrisers by 16 runs in the BPL 2022 fixture in Chattogram. Chasing a mammoth target of 203 runs in 20 overs, the Sunrisers side was restricted to 186/6 in the allotted 20 overs. 

After losing Lendl Simmons early, the Sylhet team got the much-needed resistance as Anamul Haque and Colin Ingram chipped in with a stand of 112 runs for the second wicket. Both the batters scored individual fifties during the course. 

But no other batsmen really got into the groove and the side eventually fall short. Mrittunjoy Chowdhury picked up three wickets on the trot to complete a hattrick for his side. He bagged a three-fer for 33 runs in 4 overs while Nasum Ahmed was the pick of the bowlers after he took two wickets for just 18 runs in his 4 overs. 

Earlier, Will Jacks played a blinder of an innings for Chattogram as he struck a 19-ball 52 which included three maximums and 7 fours. Apart from him Afif Hossain (38 off 28) and Sabbir (31 off 29) also made valuable contributions but it was Howell and Mehidy Hasan's cameos that helped the side post 202/5. 

While Howell remained unbeaten at 41 off 21, Hasan struck 13* off 4. Ravi Bopara returned with an economical bowling performance for his side as he picked up one wicket at the cost of 23 runs in 4 overs.
