DHAKA, Jan 27, 2025 (BSS)- Durber Rajshahi’s youngster SM Meherob claimed his career best 4-15 with his wily offspin to restrict Sylhet Strikers to just 117-9 in their crucial Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) game today.

A victory in what was their last group phase match would help them stay in the BPL playoffs race. A defeat would leave them to clear many mathematical equations in sealing the last four spot. 

Pace bowler Mrittunjoy Chowdhury who scalped 4-18 against Rangpur Riders just 24 hours ago, followed the performance with 3-33 to further derail Sylhet after they were put into bat first.

Mrittunjoy sliced the top-order in a display of swing bowling, reducing Sylhet to 19-3. Meherob then got into act by ripping through middle order in no time.

Ahsan Bhatti was the top-scorer for Sylhet with 25 while Zakir Hasan made 24. Sumon Khan was not out on 20, helping the side to propel past 100 which looked unlikely.
