Sylhet Strikers failed to win in the fifth match of BPL, Barisal Bulls. In this match, Sylhet Strikers lost their place as finalists of the previous season but there are many important moments in store for them.
Sylhet Strikers are yet to submit a match in BPL, and they are struggling to get their win.
In the match, Barisal Bulls managed to reach 187 runs in batting but Sylhet kept the strikers at 137 runs. Mohammad Imran's 4-wicket hat-trick and Mehdi Hasan Miraj's 2-wicket haul was a relief from Mahamudullah Riyad's bowling prowess.
Sylhet Strikers' quiet batting line-up of Mushfiqur Rahim and Mashrafe Bin Mortaza has, however, been put under pressure. Easy wins in the previous four matches especially put pressure on the Sylhet Strikers for a hat-trick.
Experienced batting and efficient bowling by Barisal Bulls helped Sylhet Strikers to their first win in BPL. Sylhet Strikers will have to wear the failed attempt and they will have to be ready in the next match to get their first win.
Mashrafe bin Mortaza and his team may now be ready to be more daring in the challenges ahead.
So, even if a win still seems lacking after the fifth match of the BPL, it should help the Sylhet Strikers to be ready and perform well in the next match.
