Match 16 of the Bangabandhu Bangladesh Premier league will see the Chattogram Challengers take on the Fortune Barishal at the Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium in Chattogram, on Tuesday, 1 February.
Chattogram Challengers head into this game off a defeat against Comilla Victorians. Bowling first, they failed to make any inroads into the Victorian batting. Nasim Ahmed was the pick of the bowlers, claiming figures of 2-23.
Chasing a challenging 183-run target, the Challengers crumbled under pressure. Will Jacks was the top scorer for the Challengers, scoring a 42-ball 69. The rest of the batters, though, failed to get going, as the team were bundled out for 131.
Fortune Barishal, meanwhile, are coming off a victory against the Khulna Tigers in a closely contested encounter. Batting first, the franchise from Barishal put up a 145-run total. Captain Shakib Al Hasan (27-ball 41) and Najmul Hossain Shanto (40-ball 45) were the top-scorers, ensuring that their bowlers had something to bowl at.
Defending a modest target, the Fortune bowlers were up to the task, as they restricted the Tigers to 139. Dwayne Bravo (3-40) and Shakib Al Hasan (2-10) were the stars with the ball, ensuring that Barishal registered a narrow six-run victory.
