Victory of Mostafiz-Liton in the Daputa of Chittagong

Gazi Group Chittagong also won the second match of the Bangabandhu T20 Cup in Daputa. Chittagong lost to Shakib’s Jamcon Khulna by 9 wickets.

Mithun’s team achieved their second consecutive victory. On the other hand, Mahmudullah got a taste of the second consecutive defeat.

After losing the pitch at Mirpur on Saturday (November 26), Khulna was eliminated by just seven points from Mostafiz. Chittagong won the draw and chose to bat, losing Soumya Sarkar’s wicket with 37 more balls.

Chittagong Liton Das and Soumya Sarkar opened well by hitting an easy 8-run goal. Khulna’s players became helpless in the face of Liton’s visionary joke. The opening pair scored 63 points. Soumya was fired for 26 runs.

Liton then collected half a century with 42 balls. Liton and Mominul Haque scored 7 points in 13.4 overs. Mahmudullah Riyad had Khulna’s only wicket.

Previously, Chittagong captain Mohammad Mithun decided to field after winning the draw at Sher-e-Bangla Cricket Stadium. Mostafiz, the national team’s top pitcher, kicked off the devastating bowling ball by proving the captain’s decision was correct. Besides him, Nahidul Islam and Taizul Islam fooled the opposing hitters in their rotation.

Imrul Kayes scored the 21 highest runs for Khulna who lost wickets at regular intervals. He hit three fours out of 26 balls. World’s best all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan dropped to open the day on behalf of the star addicted team. However, Nahidul takes his leave with only 3 runs. But with these three races, he became Bangladesh’s second to reach the 5,000-race milestone in T20. Previously, Tamim Iqbal set the record.

Ariful Haque scored 15 points, Zahurul Islam 14 and Shamim Hossain 11 points for Khulna. However, none of the others made it to the double-digit house.

Mostafiz, who played well, took 4 wickets for just 5 runs in 3.5 overs. Furthermore, Nahidul and Taizul had two wickets each.
