At 23/4 as Shakib was walking back to the pavilion, it seemed all over for Rangpur Riders. A lot of people didn't account for Misbah's prowess though. He has been in these situations over and over again. Most of the times he comes out on top. Today he almost did.
Amir, on his return, came back to bowling at international batsmen and it seemed as if he didn't miss a beat. He took two wickets off successive balls twice and was single-handedly responsible for getting Chittagong Vikings back into the game. His ball to Misbah will stand the test of time.
In the end Misbah, Al-Amin, Perera and Sammy guided Rangpur Riders to their first win. Saqlain Sajib and Abu Jayed's performances, while Chittagong were racing away, shouldn't be forgotten
Tamim Iqbal: "It was a fantastic match. We should have scored 20 more runs. Amir bowled brilliantly and we lost our way in the middle overs. The two catches we dropped cost us the match"
Shakib: "It's a good start for the BPL and some of our foreign batsmen showed how to play T20 cricket. The partnership between Misbah and Al-Amin brought us back into the game. Our top order didn't perform well and our bowling too needs improvement"
Misbah-ul-Haq is the Man of the match. He says, 'It's always good to win the first game. We just came together as a team in the morning. Thisara played well. The performance after 4 wickets is good to see. The team talk during drinks was to keep them down to a score below 200"
Thanks for joining us for this game. Good night from all of us here

Shafiul to Sammy, 1 run, OUT
length ball on the middle stump. Sammy pushes it to the leg stump. He wants to take a couple and finish the match off. He is well short at the keeper's end and we will have a full game! Is there a super over coming?

Amir to Misbah, OUT
yorker aimed right at the bottom of the off stump. Misbah is beaten all ends up as he looks to push it to the leg side. He misses and the off stump is uprooted. Amir celebrates this and what a crucial wicket it is for the Chittagong Vikings!

Amir to Perera, OUT
good length ball on the middle stump. You could guess, even with a very low IQ, that Perera was looking to slog it to the leg side. He does and top-edges it to wide long-on where Jeevan Mendis takes the catch. Though he got the wicket, Amir wasn't happy
