A brilliant match we've got to witness as Barishal qualifies for the playoffs with that win. The action continues in the BPL with three spots still left to be decided. That's all from this game and if you're still up for some action, do not hesitate to switch tabs and follow our thrill-a-minute coverage of the ECL T10. But until next time, this is Dwijesh Reddy signing off. Good bye and Take Care!
Shakib al Hasan is the man-of-the-match for his all-round performance
Shakib al Hasan: Munim and Chris did well and especially Gayle, who has to keep his ego away and bat through the innings. With dew, we knew it will be difficult to defend. But with 200 on the board, the oppositions need to keep scoring and in the end, our bowlers did well. I think we are improving steadily and this is what we want to do. We are happy at the top of the table and hope to continue this way.
Ravi Bopara (Sylhet captain): We got off to a good start and were favourites at the halfway mark. But Barishal has quality in their attack with Shakib and Mujeeb taking wickets in the middle overs regularly. The best place to bat in Bangladesh is at the top of the order. For someone like Ingram, he should be batting at the top given his ball-striking ability. The lower-order was good today but we conceded 10-15 runs more than what we would have liked.
Fortune Barishal beats Sylhet Sunrisers by 12 runs!
What a win for Barishal, who continue to show why they are the team to beat in this competition. They had to overcome a sensational knock from Colin Ingram, who seemed like doing no wrong out in the middle. Ingram strolled his way to a 49-ball 90 although he didn't get much help from the other batters.
Mohammad Mithun held fort for some time but his untimely dismissal along with Bopara's departure spelt trouble for the Sunrisers. Credit must be given to Shakib al Hasan, the captain who held his nerve and opted to bowl himself out to get rid of Bopara. However, he reserved his best for Ingram with the introduction of Shanto in the fifteenth over resulting in two wickets, including that of Ingram, who looked like taking Sylhet home today.
Mosaddek and Alauddin flirted with the idea of chasing the target down with some flat sixes and clever boundaries. But in the end, the Barishal pacers did well to mix the pace and use the crease to their advantage. A brilliant win for Barishal, who continue to be a force to reckon with while defending totals. As for Sylhet, this should spell the end to their playoff hopes.
