DHAKA, Sept 28, 2025 (BSS)- Fast bowler Ebadot Hossain showed a glimpse of

fours and as many sixes. He and captain Salman Hossain Emon appeared to give

45-run run partnership after which Barishal's batting lineup feel like a pack
of cards.

five wickets for 58 runs.

them but in the end he ended up with a defeat.
