Mahmudullah's Fifty Powers Rangpur to 155/8
5 Jan
Summary
- Mahmudullah Riyad scored a crucial 51 off 41 balls.
- Khushdil Shah provided late impetus with a brisk 38 off 21 balls.
- Dhaka Capitals need 156 runs to win the match.
Rangpur Riders posted a competitive total of 155 for 8, largely due to a resilient half-century from veteran batter Mahmudullah Riyad. After losing the toss and being put in to bat, Rangpur faced early setbacks with the dismissals of their openers and Towhid Hridoy. Riyad, however, anchored the innings, scoring a vital 51 off 41 balls to steer the team towards a respectable score.
Dawid Malan provided support with a useful 33, and the innings received a significant boost from Khushdil Shah's aggressive 38 off just 21 deliveries. This late surge pushed Rangpur's total beyond the 150-run mark, providing their bowlers with something to defend. For Dhaka Capitals, Ziaur Rahman was the most effective bowler, claiming two wickets.
Dhaka Capitals now face the challenge of chasing 156 runs to secure a win. The bowlers from Dhaka, including Imad Wasim and Taskin Ahmed, worked to restrict Rangpur, but the efforts of Mahmudullah and Khushdil ultimately set a challenging target for the opposition.
