Rangpur Riders Triumph in Thrilling BPL Clash Against Fortune Barishal, Sohan Reflects on Career Milestone

The clash between Fortune Barishal and Rangpur Riders in the BPL proved to be a thrilling encounter, marked by incredible tension and excitement. In a dramatic last-ball finish, Rangpur Riders emerged victorious, with Nurul Hasan Sohan playing a match-winning knock of 32 runs from just 7 balls. Sohan himself acknowledged that this was one of the best matches of his career.

However, despite his remarkable achievement in this game, the Rangpur captain couldn't help but reflect on a missed opportunity during the World Cup against India. In that crucial encounter, Bangladesh needed 20 runs in the final over, with Sohan at the crease. Unfortunately, he couldn't lead his team to victory in that match. Speaking about that experience, Sohan said,

"After winning today's match, I was reminded of that World Cup match. I couldn't help my team win in such an important game. I was so close, but couldn't get us over the line. It's still a regret."

Talking about the thrilling final over in today's match, Sohan added,

"When I came to the crease in the previous over, Khushdil hit two sixes. He was saying the game was still possible to win. When Rabbi Bhai came over, he also encouraged me, telling me to play all six balls. Then, when I hit the first six, my confidence skyrocketed."

The match also attracted plenty of spectators from both Rangpur and Barishal, who traveled to Sylhet to witness the high-stakes rivalry. Reflecting on the excitement and energy around the match, Sohan expressed,

"The fans from both Rangpur and Barishal came to Sylhet to watch the match, and it's our responsibility to provide them with the best entertainment. We need to make sure they are enjoying the game."

Sohan also shared his thoughts on the role of such thrilling matches in BPL, stating that they play a vital part in bringing joy to the lives of many.

"Cricket carries a lot of emotion for the people of Bangladesh. When such exciting matches happen, they enjoy it even more. Cricket brings happiness to people's lives. Everyone goes through problems in life, and this game helps lift their spirits."

Rangpur's dramatic win over Barishal was another great example of how passionate cricket fans find solace and joy in the sport, making such encounters even more thrilling.
