Rony Talukdar and Zakir Hasan Shine for Sylhet Strikers
Sylhet Strikers batted first and posted a formidable total of 205/4 in their 20 overs. Rony Talukdar led the charge with a brilliant 54 off 32 balls, while Zakir Hasan supported well with a knock of 50 from 38 balls.
The Strikers also saw valuable contributions from Aaron Jones (38* off 19 balls) and Jaker Ali (20* off 5 balls), ensuring they reached a challenging total. However, Saifuddin and Mahedi Hasan were the most effective bowlers for Rangpur, with both claiming two wickets each.
Alex Hales’ Explosive 113 Takes Rangpur Riders to Victory
Rangpur Riders, chasing 206, were powered by a magnificent century from Alex Hales. His unbeaten 113 off 56 balls, which included 10 fours and 7 sixes, anchored the chase. Saif Hassan also played an important knock of 80 from 49 balls.
Despite a couple of early wickets, the Riders made light work of the target, reaching 210/2 in just 19 overs. Tanzim Hasan Sakib’s two-wicket haul was the only notable bowling performance for the Strikers, but it wasn’t enough to prevent a Rangpur victory.
