BPL | Twitter reacts as Chattogram spurn chance to lead playoff race with 18-run loss to table toppers Rangpur
Chattogram Challengers remained tied in a three team mid-table deadlock on 10 points after failing to chase 187 against Rangpur Riders. Shakib Al Hasan headlined the latter's batting effort with his 62 before Dwaine Pretorius struck thrice in the powerplay to put the game beyond the hosts' reach.
Brief scores: RR 187/8 [Shakib 62(39), Mahedi 34(17); Shepherd 3/27] defeat CC 169/6 [ Shepherd 66(30), Bruce 24(24); Pretorius 3/14] by 18 runs
The Challengers' chase followed a similar narrative as their rivals, only without the middle-order saviours. Dwaine Pretorius proved to be the wrecker-in-chief as he scalped the top three within the powerplay while conceding just 14 runs in his full quota to have the opposition reeling at 39/3 after six overs. Thereon it was a huge uphill struggle for Chattogram despite the generous offering of dew at the stadium. By the time Tom Bruce and skipper Shuvagata Hom succumbed to Mahedi in the 12th over after scraping their way into the 20s, the required run rate had already touched 14 an over. Shepherd gave the innings some late impetus with a lightning 66 but it was only enough to get his team to 169/6.

Things changed now
The more shakh Mahedi Hasan has been playing the more I'm liking him. I've never actually liked him but that's changed now #BPL
