All-round Perera studs Barisal win by six wickets

BPL : 2016

Barisal Bulls opened their record in this current season's BPL with a six-wicket win over Comilla Victorians, whose battle failed out amid a fourth-wicket remain of 49 between Mushfiqur Rahim amd Thisara Perera, which fixed the challenge. Comilla, the safeguarding champions, stay winless and would be concerned by a weak batting line-up, however knocking down some pins is by all accounts their quality.

Set 130 to win, Barisal opener Dilshan Munaweera struck two satisfying fours before getting got at mid-off in the fifth over yet Dawid Malan immediately reestablished the weight with two limits in the same over. Mashrafe Mortaza and Nabil Samad then knocked down some pins six overs to give away only 26 runs, expanding the required run rate from 6.87 to 8.55. It brought about Shamsur's worked 26-ball 16 winding up in the hands of long-on in the eleventh over.

Mushfiqur broke the limit dry spell with a trudge cleared six in the twelfth over, before Malan edged his third limit in the accompanying over from Sharif, however he was quickly gotten off the following ball at cover for 26. With Mashrafe completing his spell (0/21) with Barisal requiring 52 off the last six overs, Mushfiqur and Thisara Perera struck limits off Sharif and Tanvir. They wrested back control of the amusement when they struck one six each off Imad, who surrendered 17 keeps running in the seventeenth over.

Their fourth-wicket stand finished when Mushfiqur faintly edged Tanvir to the attendant, yet he got them nearer to the win with his 23-ball 33. Perera facilitated Barisal's nerves with two limits in the penultimate over, finishing the win with nine balls to save.

Comilla could have slipped advance from 73 for 6 in the fourteenth over, if not for the 38-run seventh-wicket association between Marlon Samuels and Sohail Tanvir.

Samuels - who came to bat after both openers fell inside 3.5 overs - was included in the run-outs of Nazmul Hossain Shanto and Imad Wasim, and saw Liton Das and Nahidul Islam fall quietly. So he needed to get Comilla out of inconvenience. He began off the seventh-wicket remain with two fours off Al-Amin Hossain and about overwhelmed Thisara Perera with a straight hit.

Tanvir got into the demonstration with a whack over midwicket for his initial six. Mahedi Hasan dropped him on 13 in the eighteenth more than, a sitter that wound up hitting him on the face, before hitting the floor. After Samuels withdrew for a run-a-ball 48, Tanvir struck two sixes over long-on in the last over, his unbeaten 30 off 19 balls giving Comilla the late runs that regularly have the effect yet this time finished in pointlessness.
