“Well you know when I went to the crease, Khushdil told me that we can win the game from here. All thanks to God and I am very happy. Yeah, you know, obviously we required to keep our focus on the ground. It is still a long way to go and we will be focused for the next game. Still a long way to go in the tournament. Iftikhar and Khushdil batted really well and added up a crucial partnership. Long way to go for us so hope for the best,” said Nurul Hasan, Rangpur Riders Captain, who was awarded the ‘Player of the Match’.
A Quick Recap of Rangpur Riders’ Epic Run Chase:
Chasing down a target of 198 seemed challenging on this pitch, and things quickly went from bad to worse when they lost star player Alex Hales in the 2nd over. Some poor death-over bowling allowed Fortune Barishal to exceed 190 runs, and with the team struggling at 66/3, few expected much from Khushdil Shah and Iftikhar Ahmed, as scoring at a fast pace appeared difficult.
The experienced duo proved the doubters wrong, blasting a 91-run stand off 53 balls, providing a solid foundation for captain Nurul Hasan to capitalize on. He seized the opportunity brilliantly, delivering one of the most memorable chases in the league’s history.
