The match went down to the wire with Riders needing eight runs in the last over. Mahedi Hasan, though, settled the matter with two fours – the first a scoop and the second a thick outside edge – off Kamrul Islam, with three balls to spare. But it was Shamim Hossain, batting at No. 3 for the first time this season, who kept Rangpur’s chase intact. He struck four fours and as many sixes in his 51-ball 71, his highest T20 score, before holing out to long-on off Khaled Ahmed.
