DHAKA, Dec 30, 2025 (BSS) - Ripon Mondol claimed his career-best 4-13 in a gem of pace bowling as Rajshahi Warriors registered its second victory in the Bangladesh Premier League by sealing six-wicket win over Noakhali Express at Sylhet International Cricket Stadium on Monday night.

Unable to deal with the sustained aggression from Ripon, Noakhalia managed to put up just 124-8 after being sent to bat first.

Rajshahi cantered to the victory in 17.5 overs, reaching 125-4 and left Noakhali win-less after their third match in the tournament.

Opener Tanzid Hasan Tamim made team-best 29 while veteran Mushfiqur Rahim was not out on 28. Yasir Ali was also batting on 23 when Rajshahi confirmed the victory. Skipper Najmul Hossain Shanto added 24.

Earlier fellow pacer Tanzim Hasan Sakib gave Ripon ably support with 2-31. After Tanzim broke through the top order, Ripon applied pressure in middle overs, effectively ruining Noakhali's aspiration to recover from the early collapse.

Haider Ali, who led Noakhali in absence of Shykat Ali, was the top-scorer for the side with 33 off 28 while Mahidul Islam Ankon made 22. Opener Maaz Sadaqat was the other notable scorer with 25.
