Just as there is much talk about who will win the title in the BPL final, there is an equal discussion about who will get the title of best of the tournament. Last year, Nazmul Hossain Shanto won the tournament best award. Received 10 lakh rupees along with an attractive trophy. This time also there is 10 lakhs for the best of the tournament. But who will get this award?
Car awards were given in the first two events. Then BPL got ‘realistic’ and reduced the prize money. The organizers have moved this award to a standard place in the last edition.
Tamim Iqbal and Tawheed Hriday are the two most talked about names in the race for the best of the tournament. The duo’s performance in the BPL has been outstanding and their performance has played a major role in taking their team to the finals. These two are ahead in the fight for the best of the season.
The number of runs is the opposite position of the two. Tamim runs 453 in 14 matches. Tawheed scored 447 runs in less than one match. However, there is a huge gap between the two in average runs and strike rates. Tamim runs at an average of 34.84. Tawhid’s runs from the bat came at an average of 40.63. Tamim’s strike rate is 125.48. Tawheed 149.49. Tamim’s fifty three. Tawhid’s fifty two with a century.
As there are two on the final stage, the fight for the best of the tournament will be till the last minute. There will be extra attention on both of them. The crown of excellence can be lifted in the hands of the one whose performance will make a difference in the title fight.
In the last edition, Shanto won the man of the tournament award by scoring only runs. That is why Tamim and Tawheed are more likely to win this award this time. This time, Shariful Islam is only in discussion in bowling. The left-arm pacer was excellent even though his team failed to secure the playoffs. He is at the top of the table with 22 wickets in 12 matches. His top position is also strong. His nearest rival Saif Uddin’s 14 wickets in bowling in the final stage.
Shakib has been Man of the Tournament four times in the nine editions of the BPL. The left-handed all-rounder won the player of the tournament award in 2017 after the first two seasons. Also got a motorbike along with the service money award. Shakib showcased the BPL best award in 2022 as well. This time, the left-handed spin all-rounder is slightly behind in the race for the best. Scored 255 runs with the bat in 11 innings for Rangpur Riders. He took 17 wickets in 13 matches with the ball.
