... TIME FOR THE PRESENTATIONS ...
Earlier, Sylhet's batting struggles continued as they were dismissed for 125. Despite a few batsmen getting starts, they failed to capitalize and accelerate their scoring. Fortune Barishal's bowlers were on top, with Rishad Hossain and Jahandad Khan taking three wickets each, while Faheem Ashraf claimed two. Kyle Mayers and Shaheen Afridi chipped in with a wicket each to round out the impressive bowling performance.
Sylhet's bowlers made a promising start, but with a low total to defend, they were ultimately unable to withstand the aggressive batting from Mayers and Hridoy. Rahkeem Cornwall and Tanzim Hasan Sakib claimed a wicket each but were taken to task by the Fortune Barishal duo.
Fortune Barishal cruised to a comfortable 7-wicket victory over Sylhet, chasing down a modest total with ease. Despite losing two wickets for just 6 runs, Kyle Mayers and Towhid Hridoy formed a match-winning partnership of 116 runs, both scoring half-centuries in the process.
