Bengal Pro League fans witnessed a batting masterclass as Pervez Hussain smashed an unbeaten 65 to guide Titans to a commanding win over Riders. The right-hander’s innings was the highlight of a rain-interrupted match that kept spectators on the edge of their seats.
Opting to field, Riders thought they had the upper hand when early wickets tumbled. But Hussain rebuilt the innings patiently, accelerating in the death overs to propel Titans to 168/5. His knock featured crisp drives and powerful pulls, punishing any loose deliveries.
In reply, Riders’ openers provided a fiery start, racing to 50 in five overs. Titans fought back with spin and seam, restricting the scoring rate. Hussain’s part-time off-spin accounted for the dangerous Riders captain, triggering a collapse.
Riders managed only 152/8, with Titans’ fielding brilliance adding to their woes. Post-match, Hussain credited team strategy for the win, saying, ‘We backed our plans and executed well.’ This result strengthens Titans’ playoff chances in the competitive BPL season.
