The fate of the match was written after Gayle-Tandab. There is no record to chase 200 runs in BPL's history, and at Mirpur's one wicket! But such helpless surrender certainly did not expect anyone. The defending champions were reduced to 149 for 207, the last time the champions Matlar Rangpur Riders, for the first time, won a huge win of 57 runs.
Jahurul Islam fought alone to save the honor of the Dhaka capital Dhaka with a bat. Zahurul, who is helpless in the heavyweight batting line-up of Dhaka, has scored 100 goals. Jahurul's 38 runs from 38 runs in the distance. If not, today's biggest defeat was to handle the record.
But who is there in the Dhaka team? Evelyn Lewis, Joe Denly, Kieron Pollard, Shahid Afridi or all-rounder Sunil Narine Desi Mehdi Maruf, Shakib Al Hasan and Mosaddek are all there. Among them Shakib Al Hasan scored 26 runs in 16 balls, but it is a little less than the situation!
206 runs downhill Maruf took the naught of runs. After 1 run, there was no Denly. Maruf was left to leave the team for 19 runs, which was understood by Chris Gayle (146 runs in 69 balls) that Gayle did just that. It's not easy to run runs on the pitch. Pollard, Shakib, Mosaddekrao took shelter in the dressing room within 10 overs. Shahid Afridi hit a six Dhaka lost seven wickets for 87 runs to face the danger of being all out due to 100 runs.
Jahurul has crossed the journey with the responsibility. Narine made a partnership of 42 runs. But the fifth BPL winner named Rangpur Riders, did not have to wait until Jahurul was out. He resolved that the top order of Dhaka has been done within four overs. Or before? Chris Gayle is in a hurricane, all the way!
