Fortune Barishal vs Khulna Tigers, 33th Match, Bangladesh Premier League 2023 - HighlightsBRSAL vs KLT, 33th Match, Bangladesh Premier League 2023 - Highlights

van Meekeren to Mahmudullah, FOUR, neat placement! Short ball, Mahmudullah swivels inside the line and dispatches the slower ball wide of short fine leg. Ensured that he got this finer of the deep backward square leg fielder too

van Meekeren to Karim Janat, out Caught by Shai Hope!! Khulna review for caught behind. I think this is done to prevent the wide maybe because don't think Janat got any bat on this. Or did he? Was there some glove? Third ump trying his best to make something out of this. Was short delivery down leg, Janat swivelled to pull and there was a noise as it went through to Shai Hope. On-field ump gave it a wide which didn't amuse Hope. Khulna went for the review after a lot of deliberation, the third ump was convinced there was some glove there. Karim Janat c Shai Hope b van Meekeren 16(8) [4s-3]

van Meekeren to Iftikhar Ahmed, 2 runs, slower and shorter on leg stump, Iftikhar mistimes the heave over mid-wicket. In the gap though and will get a brace. Yet another fifty in the season for Iftikhar! He has been unstoppable

Shafiqul Islam to Karim Janat, FOUR, more runs! Shorter this time, slower ball but Janat was ready on the back foot. Flat-bats it powerfully over the bowler's head. Long-on can't cut it off. 20 off the over!

Shafiqul Islam to Karim Janat, FOUR, nothing streaky about this - just raw Afghanistan power! Shafiqul misses the yorker, it's in the slot and Janat clears his front leg to hammer it straight back past the bowler. Powerfully struck!

Shafiqul Islam to Karim Janat, FOUR, streaky runs but they all count! A massive hoick from Janat, was the off-cutter and he could only get a thick outside edge. Third man is up and this flies over the fielder

Shafiqul Islam to Iftikhar Ahmed, SIX, Iftikhar is in beast mode now! Not that bad a ball really, Shafiqul didn't miss the wide yorker by much but that was enough for Iftikhar. Hung back and slapped this powerfully over extra cover. Just to the left of long-off and over the rope. Wow!

van Meekeren to Iftikhar Ahmed, FOUR, and now the short ball, Iftikhar pulls and although this is mostly off the top edge, it didn't matter as fine leg was quite square. 16 off the over despite the Shakib wicket!

van Meekeren to Iftikhar Ahmed, SIX, that's one of the flattest sixes you'd ever see! van Meekeren misses his yorker, in the slot and Iftikhar goes downtown with a full-blooded drill. Hit the boundary cushion on the full, that'll be a maximum

van Meekeren to Karim Janat, leg byes, FOUR, gift first ball for Janat and he puts it away. Slower ball down leg, he doesn't get bat on it but deflects it off the pads past Shai Hope down the leg-side. Fine leg was up, so that was a poor ball from van Meekeren

van Meekeren to Shakib, out Caught by Mahmudul Hasan Joy!! Huge breakthrough! Might make a difference of about 15-20 runs to the final score. The dangerous Shakib departs. Was looking to go inside out over extra cover, van Meekeren slipped in the off-cutter and denied the left-hander of the pace for the shot. Sliced straight up and only as far as extra cover. A breezy knock from Shakib but he'd have wanted to bat deeper. Some respite for Khulna. Shakib c Mahmudul Hasan Joy b van Meekeren 36(21) [4s-1 6s-4]

Nasum Ahmed to Iftikhar Ahmed, 2 runs, mistimed slog sweep, falls short of deep mid-wicket! Iftikhar looking to go big but wasn't able to quite get the desired connection

Nasum Ahmed to Shakib, SIX, clubbed! Shakib had been itching to have a go at Nasum since a while now and finally gets one away. Juicy full toss, he shuffles and pumps this over deep square leg. Too easy

Mark Deyal to Shakib, SIX, and he does have a go! Clears the ropes as well. Walks across slightly to the slower ball, counters the wide line and slog sweeps over cow corner. A whopping 22-run over!

Mark Deyal to Iftikhar Ahmed, SIX, goes big on the leg-side now! Walks across early to counter the wide line and slog sweeps merrily over deep mid-wicket. Monstrous blow

Mark Deyal to Iftikhar Ahmed, FOUR, bang! This is why Deyal wants to stay wide of Iftikhar's arc. This is slightly straighter, and fuller, Iftikhar hammers it straight back past the bowler

Mark Deyal to Iftikhar Ahmed, FOUR, drilled! Half-volley from Deyal, in the slot and Iftikhar blasts the drive through extra cover. Went to the fence in a flash

Hasan Murad to Shakib, 1 run, flat and on off, Shakib works it past mid-wicket

Nahidul Islam to Ibrahim Zadran, out Caught by van Meekeren!! Holes out this time! Zadran clearly wanting to go up another gear in his innings but perishes in the process. Backed away to go downtown with the loft but sliced it up a long way. More height than distance and a comfortable take for long-off. Khulne needed this breakthrough badly. Ibrahim Zadran c van Meekeren b Nahidul Islam 23(23) [4s-2]

Hasan Murad to Shakib, FOUR, this time over the off-side! Wider line, Shakib is ready for it and goes inside out over extra cover. He is batting on a different league at the moment

Hasan Murad to Shakib, SIX, hammered! In the arc this time, flatter, Shakib launches it over deep mid-wicket with a big slog sweep. Nicely done

Nahidul Islam to Shakib, SIX, launched! Shakib doesn't waste time in teeing off. Hint of flight, he gets across quickly and slog sweeps merrily over deep mid-wicket. Clean strike

Hasan Murad to Fazle Mahmud, out Caught by Shafiqul Islam!! Murad breaks the partnership! Must say that the young man created this breakthrough with some tight defensive bowling. Only conceded six singles in his first over and with Nahidul also bowling a quiet over, Mahmud felt the need to be aggressive. Favourable matchup too with the left-hander against the left-arm spinner but he doesn't get hold of the slog sweep. Dragged it a bit and hit this flat to deep mid-wicket. Shafiqul with another sharp low catch. Fazle Mahmud c Shafiqul Islam b Hasan Murad 39(29) [4s-4 6s-2]

van Meekeren to Fazle Mahmud, SIX, Mahmud takes full toll of the Free Hit! Swivels across early to counter the wide line, it's short and Mahmud pulls ferociously over deep mid-wicket. Cleanly done

van Meekeren to Fazle Mahmud, no ball, Free Hit incoming! So much for the review, there was a noise as the ball snuck down leg past Mahmud's swivelling blade. Shai Hope was very excited though the others weren't as keen, but on checking the review, it showed that van Meekeren had overstepped. Khulna have burnt their reviews

van Meekeren to Fazle Mahmud, FOUR, shot! Short and wide, Mahmud waits and cuts this well, beating backward point to his right and third man to his left

van Meekeren to Fazle Mahmud, FOUR, superbly done! Wider line, Mahmud leans into a gentle off-drive, timed well and beats mid-off to his right. Elegantly done

Nasum Ahmed to Ibrahim Zadran, FOUR, smashed! Hint of width and Zadran makes room to hammer this inside out past cover

van Meekeren to Ibrahim Zadran, no run, struck on the pads but the angle was taking it down leg. van Meekeren was very confident although that might have been due to desperation more than anything else

van Meekeren to Ibrahim Zadran, FOUR, shot! Elegance from Zadran as he creams this off-drive wide of mid-off. Half-volley from van Meekeren and it's been put away in style

van Meekeren to Anamul, out Caught by Shafiqul Islam!! What a catch! Superb stuff! A proper mishit from Anamul and this pick-up shot was up in the air for an eternity. Shafiqul from deep square leg charged forward and timed his dive to perfection. Best part was his balance while landing as it's easy for the ball to pop out during such a dive. Not to be here. Anamul c Shafiqul Islam b van Meekeren 12(7) [4s-1 6s-1]

Nasum Ahmed to Fazle Mahmud, FOUR, smashed! Fuller and slower, Mahmud waits and hammers it straight back over the bowler's head. Hit it hard

Nahidul Islam to Fazle Mahmud, FOUR, swept away hard! The assault continues! Mahmud sweeps and sweeps well through the gap at square leg. Races away

Shafiqul Islam to Anamul, SIX, short ball, Anamul sits back and pulls the ball over deep mid. That was put away with elan
