Good Evening, শুভসন্ধ্যা! Hello and Welcome to CricketCountry’s live coverage of the ongoing Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) 2016. Match No. 39 will be played between Rangpur Riders and Barisal Bulls at the Shere Bangla National Stadium, Mirpur. Here, you will get all the live updates of this crackerjack of a match. Barisal Bulls, the runners up of the last season of the domestic T20 league, are currently at the bottom of the table, while the Riders still have a chance to qualify for the play-offs. This match will be a must-win for them. Rangpur Riders played their last match with Dhaka Dynamites losing it, while Bulls’ last match was with Rajshahi Kings that they won by 17 runs.
The Riders are just one victory away from getting to the top four and are currently placed at No. 5 in the table. The team has been dependent upon their star player Shahid Afridi. Afridi is the spearhead of the bowling attack, and is also potent hard-hitter. The team consists of names like Mohammad Shahzad, Soumya Sarkar in batting, while Rubel Hossain adds dimension to the bowling.
Skipper Mushfiqur Rahim is the driving force of the Barisal Bulls. Another star with the bat has been Thisara Perera, who provides much-needed impetus in the middle-order. Taijul Islam, Rayad Emrit, Enamul Haque, Kamrul Islam Rabbi are the frontline bowlers. However, the team has failed to put their best foot forward and in turn went on losing consecutive matches.
