In the previous match, Fortune Barisal won with a big capital against the excellent Dhaka. He maintained that consistency in the first match of the Chittagong phase as well. Barisal scored 186 runs after losing 5 wickets in the allotted 20 overs thanks to captain Tamim Iqbal’s fifty and Nama Saifuddin’s stormy batting towards the end.
On Wednesday (February 14), Barisal’s two openers, Tamim Iqbal and Ahmed Shehzad, won the toss and went to bat at Chittagong’s Zahoor Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium. Both made a pair of 76 runs.
Soumya Sarkar came to the wicket after Shehzad scored 24 runs. Tamim Iqbal continued to harass him. Soumya Agle played at one end but Tamim’s bat was wide. The boy from Chittagong took fifty in 34 balls hitting 5 fours and 3 sixes.
After that, when Tamim got out after scoring 124 runs, Barisal’s run slowed down. Dhaka’s bowlers started picking up wickets at times. Mahmudullah, Mushfiqur Rahim, Soumya and Mehdi Hasan Miraj departed one by one.
In the end, Saifuddin stormed by choosing a pair with Shoaib Malik. This all-rounder played a stormy innings of 23 runs hitting 2 fours and 2 sixes in just 6 balls. And in that, Barisal gets a big collection.
