Pakistan pacer Faheem Ashraf stunned the cricket world with a historic 5-wicket haul in the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) 2024-25. Representing Fortune Barishal, Faheem dismantled Sylhet Strikers, claiming 5 wickets for just 7 runs in 3.1 overs. This remarkable performance made him the first overseas bowler to achieve a fifer in this season.

On a tricky pitch, Faheem’s accurate medium-pace deliveries troubled the Sylhet batters, who were bowled out for just 116 runs in 18.1 overs. His spell started with the dismissal of Rony Talukdar and ended with Sumon Khan’s wicket, as he tore through the opposition’s batting lineup.

In response, Fortune Barishal comfortably chased down the target in 16 overs, scoring 120/2. Tamim Iqbal led the chase with an unbeaten 52, while Mushfiqur Rahim added a quick 42 runs to seal the 8-wicket win. Faheem’s all-round brilliance and Barishal’s dominance ensured a comprehensive victory.
