Sunil Narine hit the fastest fifty in BPL history - off 13 balls - as Comilla Victorians put together an astonishing chase to reach their third BPL final. They hammered down their 149-run target in just 12.5 overs against Chattogram Challengers after beginning the chase with 20 and 23 runs off the first two overs, respectively. Their final opponents, Fortune Barishal, must be on alert after Comilla's promotion of Narine in the batting order worked wonders.
But it was Narine who made heads turn in this game. After Comilla lost Litton Das off the first ball of their chase, Narine smashed 14 runs off the last three balls of Shoriful Islam's over. Then he smacked 22 off the 23 runs in the next over, bowled by Mehidy Hasan Miraz, who had top-scored with 44 in Chattogram's innings.
Will Jacks finishes the tournament as the highest run-getter, having reached 414 runs to go past Andre Fletcher's 410 runs. But Chattogram would have preferred their English opener hammering a few more quick runs in this encounter. Jacks and Chadwick Walton falling in the first five overs made all the difference between the two sides, as Chattogram gave Comilla an average total to chase.
