Put in to bat, Rangpur Riders were bowled out for 114 in 19.1 overs after struggling against disciplined Sylhet bowling. Moeen Ali led the charge with a superb spell of 2 for 8 in four overs, applying early pressure that set the tone for the innings.
Nasum Ahmed and Shohidul Islam backed him up brilliantly, picking up three wickets apiece to keep Rangpur on the back foot throughout.
Rangpur lost Kyle Mayers early for a duck and never recovered from the top-order collapse. Litton Das (22 off 12) showed brief aggression, while Khushdil Shah (30 off 24) and Mahmudullah (29 off 23) offered some resistance in the middle order. However, regular wickets meant Rangpur could not build any meaningful partnerships.
In reply, Sylhet Titans chased down the modest target comfortably, reaching 119 for 4 in just 17.3 overs.
Tawfique Khan provided early impetus with a brisk 33 off 22 balls, striking four sixes to put Rangpur under immediate pressure. After his dismissal, Parvez Hossain Emon anchored the innings superbly, remaining unbeaten on 52 off 41 balls, combining composure with timely aggression.
Ariful Islam (21) and Afif Hossain (12) chipped in with useful contributions, ensuring there were no late hiccups in the chase. Rangpur’s bowlers struggled to make inroads, with Sufiyan Muqeem and Nahid Rana picking up a wicket each but failing to contain the scoring.
The convincing victory lifted Sylhet Titans’ momentum in the tournament, while Rangpur Riders were left to reflect on their third consecutive defeat, highlighting ongoing issues with both bat and ball.
