Fortune Barishal dominated at the Sylhet International Cricket Stadium, cruising past Durbar Rajshahi by seven wickets in Match 10 of the BPL 2024-25. Barishal’s bowlers kept things tight, and their batters made light work of the chase to seal a convincing win.
Here’s the timeline of how FBA Vs DBR panned out in Sylhet:
FBA Vs DBR Highlights: Haris & Alam Start Strong But Stumble
Durbar Rajshahi’s innings started with a bang as Mohammad Haris and Jishan Alam looked to set the tone early. Haris, as usual, was in a hurry to score, smashing 22 quick runs. But his aggression led to his downfall when Tanvir Islam got the better of him, clipping his wings before he could soar higher.
Jishan Alam then found an able partner in skipper Anamul Haque, and the duo stitched together a quick 55-run stand.
Just when it seemed like they’d take the game away, the drinks break came as a curse for Alam, who was dismissed for 38 right after the interval. This wicket marked a turning point as Barishal’s bowlers seized control.
FBA Vs DBR Highlights: Middle-Overs Muddle For Haque & Yasir
With Alam back in the dugout, the Rajshahi innings slowed down. Yasir Ali and Anamul Haque tried to stablize the inning but the boundaries dried up. The Barishal bowlers, led by Shaheen Afridi, applied the brakes, leaving the Rajshahi batters searching for answers.
Just when it seemed like Yasir and Haque were ready to unleash in the death overs, Shaheen struck again. First, he removed Yasir Ali for a well-made 37, and then sent Haque packing shortly after. With their captain gone, Rajshahi managed only a paltry 35 runs in the last five overs, finishing at 168/4 in 20 overs.
FBA Vs DBR Highlights: Barishal’s Chase Starts With Fireworks
Chasing 169, Fortune Barishal wasted no time getting into the groove. Kyle Mayers was in beast mode, hammering 24 off just 11 balls, including two sixes. However, his blazing knock came to an end when Mohor Sheikh got him bowled. Pritom Kumar, on the other hand, couldn’t find his rhythm and fell for a scratchy three runs.
Even with early wickets, Tamim Iqbal kept the scoreboard moving. His innings was a masterclass in controlled aggression, as he dispatched the bowlers to all parts of the ground.
FBA Vs DBR Highlights: Tamim & Mushfiqur Seal The Deal
Tamim Iqbal found an able partner in Mushfiqur Rahim, and the duo ensured there were no further hiccups. Tamim was in pristine touch as he smashed 86 off 48 balls, which included 11 boundaries and three sixes.
Mushfiqur played the perfect second fiffle as he contributed 34 off 24 balls. Together, the seasoned pair stitched an unbeaten 76-run partnership and guided Barishal to the target with 15 balls to spare.
