‌BPL | Twitter reacts as Sylhet Strikers beat Durdanto Dhaka in the wooden spoon battle

02/07/2024

After an excellent performance by Rejaur Raja (3/20) restricted Durdanto Dhaka to 124 in the first innings, Sylhet Strikers ensured they came away with a five wicket win. Usman Qadir (2/16) and Shoriful Islam (3/27) created some havoc in the second innings, but Sylhet were able to see the game out.

Being forced to bat first in the battle of the wooden spoon, Durdanto Dhaka got a stable start despite losing Sabbir Hasan in the first over. Mohammad Naim and Saif Hassan were unbothered by the early blow and were flamboyant in their approach against the new ball. Both batters extracted 19 and 13 runs respectively off the third and fourth over to blaze the path for a 52-run powerplay. The pair went on to orchestrate a 78-run second wicket partnership before Saif was outsmarted in the eleventh over falling nine runs short of a half-century. Eventually, Naim (36) and Alex Ross followed suit in the next consecutive overs with Dhaka’s score reading 98/4 in 14 overs. Subsequently, Rejaur Rahman Raja ran riot in the death overs claiming three scalps to restrict Dhaka to 124/8 in 20 overs.

Unlike the opposition, the Sylhet Strikers got off to a poor start after losing three wickets inside the field restrictions, courtesy of Shoriful Islam asking the right questions consistently. Surprise opener for the day, Samit Patel was plumb in front in the first over with Harry Tector and Zakir Hasan flashing outside the off stump to throw away their wickets. However, with Najmul Hossain Shanto taking the attack to the hosts, Sylhet were able to accumulate 41 off the first six overs. Just when it appeared that the Strikers would run away with the game, Usman Qadir produced a magical spell to send both Shanto (33) and Mohammad Mithun (17) packing. However, needing to score at under a run a ball for the last ten overs, the incoming Benny Howell (30*) Ryan Burl (29*) ensured that there were no more hiccups as the visitors came away with a five wicket win.

Decent win for SS here!
