The Bangladesh Premier is up and running in its full flow now and some big local and international stars are putting up a show in the flagship T20 tournament. Now, in the 11th match of the tournament, Rangpur Riders are up against Dhaka Capitals and it was expected to be a high-scoring encounter.
However, Rangpur Riders bowlers produced a brilliant effort and cleaned up Dhaka Capitals for just 111. Dhaka needed their bowlers to step up too and Mustafizur, one of the finest white-ball bowlers in Bangladesh displayed his class to get rid of opener Azizul Hakim Tamim. He got the wicket of of the opener on the 4th delivery of the fourth over and it was a lovely slower delivery.

However, Mustafizur Rahman was close to getting the better of Azizul Hakim Tamim on the previous ball. It was a fullish delivery around leg and the batter tried to flick it towards the leg side. The ball kissed his pad and went to the keeper, but Fizz and other Dhaka players thought that the batter got an edge on it.
They took the DRS, but it showed that there was no bat involved and Fizz was left to do the hardwork again. On the next ball, he delivered a lovely slower delivery, a length ball and Azizul Hakim Tamim mistimed his loft completely. The ball went high in the air towards the extra cover region and Jason Roy took a fine catch.
However, the early wicket was not enough and Rangpur Riders managed to cross the line in the 14th over with seven wickets in hand. Khushdil Shah smashed 27 off 13 balls while Hales scored 44 to consolidate top position in BPL points table.
