āBPL 2024 | Twitter lauds Omarzaiās all-round show as Riders leapfrog Comilla in final over showdown
Rangpur Riders get to back-to-back victories in the Sylhet leg as the thirties from Babar Azam, Fazle Mahmud, and Azmatullah Omarzai paved the Riders to a defendable total. Mahidul Islam Ankanās fifty fell short as Hasan Mahmud and Omarzaiās excellent slog over bowling led to an eight-run win.
In reply, Litton Das failed to give the desired start to the Victorians as he was dismissed for a golden duck carelessly early inside the powerplay. His opening partner, Mohammad Rizwan found it difficult to get boundaries but somehow ticked the scoreboard with good strike rotation. The Pakistani glovemanās anchoring assist to Mohidul Islam Ankan did not last long after Mohammad Nabi outwitted him near the halfway mark of the innings. Subsequently, Ankan was supported by Towhid Hridoy as the tag team contributed 53 runs together with the former getting to a half-century. After 12 singles in as many deliveries between the 13th and 15th over, Ankan got out in an attempt to up the ante, courtesy of a brilliant catch from Babar Azam in the 17th over. While Khushdil Shah did whack two sixes the Ridersā bowlers had the last laugh with Azmatullah Omarzai and Hasan Mahmud bowling brilliantly in the slog overs. The equation was curtailed down to 29 runs required from the final over and it saw the wicket of well-set Hridoy (39 off 28 balls) and Aamer Jamal that acted as the final nail in the coffin to Comillaās hope for victory.Ā

Interesting opinion
Pakistani cricketers always try to sink the team in whatever league they play. In BPL, Babar Azam and Rizwan think of defeating their team at any cost.#BPL2024

Only 1!
Rangpur Riders have only lost one game and won three since Babar Azam joined the team. As you can imagine, Babar Azam is crucial to the Rangpur Riders because he scored the most runs in the three games they won while failing to score any in the one they lost.Ā @babarazam258Ā ā„ļøšĀ pic.twitter.com/qwTwR3CypV
