For some reason, no IPL side made a bid for Bangladesh superstar Mustafizur Rahman, as the former CSK player went unsold in the mega auction. However, that didn't stop him from delivering the goods in the second match of the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL).

In the ongoing clash between Rangpur Riders and Durdanto Dhaka, Fizz showed his class and scalped an early wicket for the Dhaka team as his deadly in-swinger got the better of opposition opener, Steven Taylor.

Taylor raced away to a quick-fire 14 off 6 balls as the Riders were off to a solid start. However, Mustafiz bowled a brilliant delivery to get rid off the batter. His inswinger pitched on the off-stump and nipped back in sharply to trap the batter on the back-leg. The batter, Taylor, took the DRS, but the decision went in the bowling team's favour as he had to walk back to the pavilion.

This was a trademark Mustafizur Rahman delivery, who is known for deceiving the batter with his incoming ball.

Riders looking solid after early dismissal

After Taylor, Riders also lost the wicket of Alex Hales as they found themselves in trouble. However, Saif Hassan and Iftikhar Ahmed forged a crucial partnership to steer the team out of a precarious situation.

The duo started the attack on the opposition and looked in ominous touch. Hassan, who was batting wonderfully was dismissed for a well-compiled 40, while Iftikhar closes in on a brilliant fifty in his first game of the season.

The wicket might slow down in the second innings and the Riders will be eager to score in the region of 150-160 as they have a solid bowling.
