...Presentation coming up...
Chattogram Challengers will be kicking themselves. A better performance with the ball could have given them a real chance to win. They just gave away too many runs. Chattogram Challengers started well and ended well but slowed down in the middle phase which didn't help them in such a huge chase.
A comprehensive win by the Barishals! Shakib will be happy with how his players performed. They gave their all with the bat. Almost all the batters performed brilliantly but it was Iftikhar Ahmed's knock at the back end which proved to be the difference. His knock made sure Fortune Barishal end with a mammoth score. And with the ball, the bowlers had enough runs to score and apart from the beating in the final phase from Rahman, they looked in control.
A valiant knock from Rahman! He played a superb knock in the end and this just shows Chattogram Challengers had the power but they needed to frame this chase in a better way. They will feel they gave away 20-25 runs extra.
