Comilla Victorians become the first-ever franchise to win 3 BPL titles.
Today the final battle started at 5.30 pm. Comilla batted first and collected a total of 151 runs. Sunil Narine started well with a great batting but later lost the rhythm. Fortune Barishal started their batting to chase a medium total. But Inform Munam Shahriar returned to the pavilion with a golden duck. However, Saikat Ali managed to overcome the push with Chris Gayle. Saikat scored 58 runs off 34 balls with 11 fours and 1 six.
Gayle kept playing some good shots after Saikat gets out. However, his storm did not last long. The Caribbean batting monster returned with 33 runs off 31 balls with 1 four & 2 sixes. In that situation, Shakib also gets out early today. He returned to the pavilion with the extraordinary catch of Mustafizur Rahman. This was the turning point of the match.
Nurul Hasan Sohan and Nazmul Hossain Shant tried to catch the game in this situation. They move slowly. But suddenly Nurul was run out. Dwayne Bravo also gets out early. Until the 17th over of the innings, it seemed that Fortune Barisal was going to win the match. But Sunil Narine turned the whole match around when he came to bowl the 17th over. In the next two overs, Comilla Victorians won the BPL title for the third time with the controlled bowling of Mustafizur Rahman and Shahidul Islam.
Sunil Narine is announced the Man of The Match (MOM) today. Caribbean all-rounder Sunil Narine has played the biggest role in Comilla's victory. Both batting and bowling have brought incredible victory to the team with great performances. At first he played a devastating innings of 56 runs off 23 balls with the bat. He then knocked out Barisal with his excellent bowling performance. He bowled 4 overs and took two wickets for just 15 runs.
Shakib made history by becoming the man of the tournament in this BPL. Also he won five man of the matches in a row. Shakib is the poster boy of Bangladesh cricket.
Lastly I want say Congratulations to Cumilla Victorians for their Victory. Also, I am from Cumilla District & that’s is Pride for me !!
In the last two matches of Cumilla Victorians, Sunil Narine had just outplayed the opponent bowlers. I think this is the turning and vital fact for Cumilla to be able to grab the title up again. However, their bowlers had also done great in last five or six overs of the final. It was a pleasure to eyes to see how Bangladeshi bowlers took the match away from Fortune Barishal.
A great cheer for them. ✊
Yes, Sunil Narine is the key for them. He played outstandingly well in last two matches.
