Irshad 以 M Rubel
Wicket. OUT! Run Out. Salman Irshad to Mohammad Rubel. Off cutter length ball, outside off stump on the front foot Slog, mis-timed in the air uncontrolled to deep point for 1 run, fielded by Hasan, by Emon. Rajshahi Warriors finish on 165. Their openers made a flying start in the powerplay, finding boundaries with ease, but neither could convert into a big score. Kane Williamson held firm at one end, anchoring the innings with his trademark composure, while the opposition spinners struck regularly after the powerplay to apply the brakes. Just when momentum seemed to slip, James Neesham walked in and turned the tide. The all-rounder counterattacked with a fiery cameo, taking on the bowlers and injecting much-needed impetus into the innings alongside Williamson. Thanks to that late surge, Rajshahi have managed to post a competitive total on the board. Now the big question remains, can they defend this score and book their place against Chattogram Royals in the final? Stay tuned, the chase is coming up!
