Four wins in the first four matches of the tournament. Enamul Haque Vijay’s Khulna Tigers surprised at the beginning of the Bangladesh Premier League. When the team talks face-to-face, they start to see the other side of the coin. After losing five matches in a row, the Surma Par franchise won. They lost to Chittagong Challengers in an important match whenever the fight for life and death in the playoffs started.
Team captain Enamul Haque Vijay broke down after the defeat at Zahoor Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium in Chittagong. At the press conference, his voice was broken. The condition of eyes and face is also bad. After such a great victory at the beginning, why is the position of the team so bad at the end?
‘Those who select the best cricketers by team. If we can’t do the result then it goes in the opposite direction. We certainly had responsibilities that we could keep. It is true that we have not done justice to our name. That’s why the result was not in our favour.’
Chittagong scored 192 runs on Tanjid Hasan Tamim’s century. Khulna was all out for just 127 runs in the chase. Khulna’s play in the playoffs was threatened by the 65-run defeat. With a big win against Sylhet Strikers in the last match, we have to look at Fortune Barisal’s big loss.
Parvez Hossain Emon (6) returned to chase, but the team did not lose its way. Khulna was advancing to victory with Shei Hope. The run-rate was also on demand. Khulna lost momentum when Vijay returned to a brilliant catch by Romario Shepherd. Sometimes no one could catch up. Vijay scored 33 runs off 24 balls. Although there is hope for Hope, he is disappointed. He returned to 31 off 21 balls in a whirlwind home run. And they could not return to the match.
Vijay said that their weakness in the middle order was the main reason for the failure. Apart from this, the captain of Khulna blames Kharuche’s bowling in the death overs.
