After the victory of Fortune Barisal against Comilla Victorians in the first match of the day, Khulna Tigers' exit was confirmed. Even if we won the last match, it would not have worked. And the departure of Sylhet is confirmed even earlier. The match is a mere formality. However, there was a chance for the national team players to redeem themselves.
Special attention was given to Shanta. He is the captain of Bangladesh national team. His bat was very quiet in the tournament. However, the captain has indicated that he will be a little bit better in the farewell match. Chasing the target, Shanto played an innings of 39 runs at number three. 37 balls have to be played for this. Where there were only two boundaries.
But in the batting lineup Sylhet's main hope was Shanto. But he disappointed in the whole event. Batting in 12 innings of 12 matches, he scored 175 runs at an average of 14.58. There is no fifty. The strike rate is also disappointing. 93.58.
Apart from Shanto, Yasir Ali Rabbi got runs on the day. Played an innings of 46 runs. Finished his innings with 4 fours and 2 sixes off 43 balls. In the end Mohammad Mithun left the field after confirming the team's victory with Benny Howell.
Earlier Khulna lost the toss and batted first, losing wickets at regular intervals from the start. They could not build any pair to speak of. The team broke the opening pair by 25 runs. This opening pair was the highest of their innings. Khulna has to be satisfied with the result.
However, Afif Hossain, who came in the opening, tried to advance the team after reaching one end. He also picked up a great batting fifty. Nazmul Hossain hit his fifty after hitting a six off Shantar and got out with another single off Samit Patel. Afif played an innings of 52 runs off 35 balls. This batsman hit 3 fours and 4 sixes to complete his innings. Wine Parnell also scored 21 runs.
Benny Howell took 3 wickets for 15 runs in 4 overs for Sylhet. Shafiqul Islam got 2 wickets for 20 runs in 4 overs. Tanjim Hasan Shakib also took 2 wickets.
