That's all there is to the game. The BPL action continues, as we have a doubleheader in store for Wednesday, 8th of February. It will be Khulna Tigers versus Sylhet Strikers at 1.00 pm IST (7.30 am GMT) and Rangpur Riders versus Chattogram Challengers at 6.00 pm IST (12.30 pm GMT). Do join us a bit early for the build-up. Cheers!
Mukidul Islam is the player of the match.
For Comilla Victorians, they almost made a meal of the run chase. A few of their batters gave it away by playing some poor shots and some went down to some good deliveries. They just needed a good stand though and they got it as Shah and Russell played with responsibility and bagged a really good win for their side.
Credit though to Fortune Barishal, they really made a fight out of a small total. The key for them was wickets at regular intervals. Whenever the game was slipping away, they managed to strike. Ebadot was excellent along with Khaled. However, they'll be slightly disappointed with Wasim who had an off day, and had he bowled well, the result could have well been different.
Cometh the hour, cometh the man, Andre Russell playing his first game, is the hero for the Victorians. Yes, he got able support from Shah but his strikes in the second last over were the ones that won the game for his side.
