The Bangladesh Premier League served up double delight for fans as Rangpur Riders steamrolled Dhaka Capitals in a one-sided affair. Electing to field first, Riders’ pace attack led by Mohammad Nabi dismantled the Capitals’ batting lineup, bundling them out for a paltry score. In reply, Rony Talukdar’s aggressive strokeplay and a solid partnership with Fazle Mahmud ensured a comfortable chase, sealing a morale-boosting victory.
Over in the parallel fixture, Warriors pulled off a stunning comeback against Royals. After being put in to bat, Royals started strongly but lost wickets in clusters thanks to Warriors’ crafty spin duo of Mehidy Hasan and Rishad Hossain. Chasing a modest target, Warriors rode on skipper Litton Das’s masterful innings to cross the line with balls remaining, sparking wild celebrations among supporters.
These results shake up the BPL standings significantly. Riders now lead the pack with an impeccable record, while Warriors leapfrog their rivals. Capitals need to regroup quickly to salvage their campaign. As the tournament progresses, emerging stars and veteran campaigners continue to captivate audiences across the nation.
