Bangladesh stalwart Mushfiqur Rahim was excited to have reached the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) final with Fortune Barishal, a side that had been given the tag of the 'team of elderlies' prior to the tournament.

Fortune Barishal batter Mushfiqur Rahim was baffled at the instances when his skipper Tamim Iqbal and Rangpur Riders' star all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan got booed by their respective fans during several matches in the ongoing Bangladesh Premier League. 

The rivalry between Tamim and Shakib only intensifies the hype of the fixture.

The alarm bells were ringing for Fortune Barishal early on in their campaign, after the franchise with many veteran stars could manage just one win in their first four games.

Tamim remained unbeaten on 52 off 43 balls while Mayers hit a quickfire 50 off 26 balls as Barishal cruised to 136-3 in 14.5 overs

Tamim hit four sixes in his 71 off 45 balls innings, which took his tally of sixes to 103 in 97 outings.

Barishal skipper Tamim Iqbal made 71 off 45 balls and all-rounder Mohammad Saifuddin hit a six-ball 23 to help their side to 186-6.

Chattogram Challengers’ batters Josh Brown and Tom Bruce and pacer Shohidul Islam delivered impactful performances to help beat Tamim Iqbal-led Fortune Barishal for a second time in the ongoing Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) in Mirpur on Tuesday.

“We are going to submit it [investigation report] to the cricket board soon. Since we got both of them here, we talked to them in the morning”

Mushfiqur Rahim becomes the second batter to pass the landmark score of three thousand runs in the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) as the wicketkeeper-batter achieved the milestone while playing for Fortune Barishal in their game against Comilla Victorians at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium in Mirpur on Tuesday.

Tamim Iqbal became the first batter to get past the three thousand-run mark in the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) as the Fortune Barishal skipper reached the milestone against Khulna Tigers in the evening game in Mirpur on Monday.

The fact that Tamim Iqbal, a day before Bangladesh Premier League’s new season began, had expressed his willingness to talk to Shakib Al Hasan made yesterday’s fixture between Fortune Barishal and Rangpur Riders a highly anticipated one.

This is the first time Shakib and Tamim will be facing off on the cricket field since their public falling out before last year’s ICC ODI World Cup.

Fortune Barishal skipper Tamim Iqbal said that he would talk to Bangladesh’s all-format captain Shakib Al Hasan when he was asked whether he would congratulate the all-rounder and former Tigers skipper Mashrafe Bin Mortaza on winning the polls in the recently concluded general elections.

The cricket grounds have started to buzz with the presence of star cricketers as the players are preparing for the 10th edition of the franchise-based Bangladesh Premier League, beginning January 19.

It took less than 24 hours for Shakib Al Hasan to shift his focus back to cricket, having won the national elections for his constituency Magura-1.
