After losing the first match of the Super League, Mashrafe Bin Mortaza’s team Legends of Rupganj got a great win in the second match. After Tanveer Haider’s whirlwind spell against Gazi Group cricketers, Indian all-rounder Chirag Jani’s brilliant batting left Rupganj victorious. Fifty in this match is a total of four.

Rupganj-Gazi faces off on Thursday (May 4) at Mirpur Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium. After losing the toss, Gazi scored 265 runs for 9 wickets. Rupganj confirmed the win by 4 wickets with 17 balls in hand to chase the run. Chirag Jani was unbeaten scoring 81 runs for Rupganj. Chirag finished the innings with 7 fours and 2 sixes off 73 balls.

Apart from this, Munim Shahriar scored 24, Irfan Sukkur 23, and Muktar Ali scored 20 runs. Tanveer Haider was unbeaten on 19 and Sohag Gazi on 13.

Apart from this, Al Amin Hossain took 2 wickets. Rupganj-Gazi won 1 in Super League by playing two equal matches. Gazi is second in run rate (1.783). And Rupganj (-1.566) is in fifth place.

Umpiring controversy again in Dhaka Premier League. Umpire Gazi Sohail later changed his decision after giving Al Amin Junior of Prime Bank out to Mashrafe of Legends of Rupganj. Rupganj players protested, but the umpire did not respond. However, Mashrafe did not give any response on the field. Mohammad Salahuddin’s Prime Bank Cricket Club lost to his team BKSP by 5 wickets. Criticism about umpiring in Dhaka Premier League cricket is not new. Bad umpiring has become a disease. Although last season was a bit of an exception, this time the umpiring is back to its old form. Nurul Hasan Sohan and Mehdi Miraz opened up about bad umpiring. For which a fine has to be paid. This time the victim is Mashrafe Bin Mortaza. Legends of Rupganj face Prime Bank Cricket Club in BKSP. Mohammad Salahuddin’s team was losing 5 wickets for 60 runs. In the 19th over, Rupganj captain Mashrafe came in with the ball. The second ball of the over saw a rare sight. Al Amin Junior caught behind the wicket. Responding to the bowler-keeper’s appeal, field umpire Gazi Sohail signaled out. But Gazi Sohail, who served in 57 international matches, changed his decision soon after. Legends of Rupganj cricketers protested but did not heed it. Al Amin Jr. went from out to not out because he made a wrong decision earlier. Mashrafe was a silent spectator during the whole incident. No protest was seen. Because he also knows, the result of the protest is zero.

However, in the end, Al Amin Jr. was cut by Mashrafe’s ball. Prime Bank Cricket Club was not saved in the end despite getting extra benefits from the umpires. They were bowled out for 128 runs by the bowling ball of Rupganj. Mashrafe bin Mortaza also contributed with the ball in this match. He has taken 16 wickets at an average of 21 in 8 matches in the ongoing DPL so far including 2 wickets against Prime. In response, it cannot be said that Rupganj’s victory came very easily. Two openers departed within 35 runs of the team. After Fardin Ani’s 47 and Irfan Sukkur’s 34 runs, Legends of Rupganj won by losing 5 wickets. Mashrafe’s team is third in the table with 14 points in 9 matches.

Mashrafe Bin Mortaza played for Kolkata Knight Riders in the Indian Premier League (IPL) in 2009. The former Tiger skipper set an embarrassing record in that tournament. Gujarat Titans pacer Yash Dayal has captured his record after 14 years. The cricket world witnessed an incredible match in the IPL on Sunday (April 9). Kolkata batsman Rinku Singh won the team by hitting five sixes in the last five balls of the innings. Kolkata’s batsmen picked up 31 runs in this over of Gujarat pacer Yash Dayal, which is the record for the most runs in the last over in a run chase in the history of IPL. Earlier this bitter record was held by Tiger pacer Mashrafe bin Mortzaar. Chasing 21 runs in the last 6 balls in 2009, Deccan Charges scored 26 runs off Mashrafe’s over. After 14 years, his record has now been taken over by Yash Dayal. Mashrafe played that one match for Kolkata in that 2009 event. And that is the end of Mashrafe’s IPL career in one match. The former Tiger captain was wicketless in the match with 58 runs after bowling 4 overs.

Mashrafe’s captaincy magic aside. On the other side is the charisma of coach Salahuddin. The battle between Sylhet Strikers and Comilla Victorians should be enjoyable for BPL viewers. And because of the play-off fight, the heat is increasing even more. Sylhet Strikers have lost the top spot in this year’s BPL. At the start of the season, they were somewhat out of touch. Despite stumbling in 3 matches, Mashrafe Bin Mortza’s team has reached the playoffs from the top with 18 points in 12 matches. On the other hand, despite not getting a flying start like Sylhet, the way Comilla has turned around, the other teams are afraid.

Many people laughed at the defending champions after losing the first 3 matches. But they are second in the table before the playoffs. Stars like Andre Russell and Sunil Narine have already joined to increase the strength of the team. England’s World Cup-winning all-rounder Moeen Ali has also joined this time. The Victorians are full of confidence with such a squad. On the other hand, Sylhet’s foreign collection is not as rich as Comilla’s. Mashrafe misses Amir-Imad’s service back home. Berl-Gulbadin and recruit South African left-arm spin all-rounder George Lindle to have to be trusted. Sylhet-Comilla won one each in the league stage. Even if they lose in the first qualifier, the dream of the final will remain alive for both teams. There will be another chance. However, both Chinese teams do not want to rely on the second qualifier.

Sylhet Strikers are flying in BPL. Mashrafe bin Mortaza is also soaring. Sylhet’s top four is confirmed with 8 wins in 10 matches. They want to play qualifier matches. That’s why Sylhet can’t think of anything other than victory in the last two matches. Along with leadership, Sylhet captain Mashrafe is also very successful as a bowler. Returning to cricket after eight months, the bowling edge was as effective as before. Got 12 wickets at 7.55 economy in 10 matches.

He could not finish his bowling in the last match. He left the field after 2.1 overs with a calf injury. Although he left the field with a lot of discomfort, it is known that his injury is not serious. But not fully fit to play the match.

Mashrafe joined the team in practice on Thursday. They don’t have a match on Friday. Saturday night’s match will play against Rangpur Riders. Regarding Mashrafe, head coach Rajin Saleh said, ‘We will know today. I have a meeting with the physio at night. Then it will be known whether the next match will be played.8 wins show how well Sylhet performed throughout the competition. Wants to move forward in the same rhythm, said Saleh, ‘You see there is no chance to stop, there is no chance to rest. We have progressed one match at a time and we will move forward one by one.’

He informed me that he is not participating in this competition. Narail Express has denied the organizers. Mashrafe’s fans may be disappointed with such a decision because along with Gambhir, Mashrafe had Protea legend Jacques Kallis, Kiwi legend Ross Taylor, Zimbabwean Hamilton Masakadza, and Mitchell Johnson as teammates.

Seeing Mashrafe return to the field is a bit delayed as he did not play in this tournament. Fans are now waiting to see him at 22 yards in the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL). It is known that Mashrafe got the offer to play Legends League a month ago. Even if he did not say it directly, he was showing disinterest in playing from the beginning.

This time after getting a team in the draft, the right-handed pacer contacted the organizers and informed them not to participate. Mashrafe said, “I was wondering if I would play the Legends League. The tournament is not being played due to various engagements. Yesterday (Friday) I informed the people concerned about not playing. However, I promised to stay in the next session. If there is time, I will play in that event.”

According to many, Mashrafe, who last played for the national team in March 2020, is yet to officially retire. This may also be a reason for not wanting to play in the former team. Meanwhile, Sourav Ganguly was supposed to lead Maharaj in Legends League, but he is also not playing due to personal reasons. This is known from the reports published in the Indian press.

Incidentally, the tournament is going to be held for the second time with former cricketers. The League of Legends will be screened on September 17 and will continue till October 8. The game will be played in six cities in India. There will be a total of 15 matches in this competition of the four-team franchise league.

The 22-day league will be organized in Kolkata, Lucknow, Delhi, Jodhpur, Cuttack, and Rajkot.
