The pressure was on Barisal as they did not get good results despite building a good team. Today, the top order's batting failures put them to a tough test again.

Mahmudullah went to the crease and came down the wicket and hit Shariful for a six. The next ball stands in place for a spectacular cover drive. Soumya was also fueled by the confidence of his teammates. Soumya hit Taskin for two fours in the fifth over. At the end of the power play, their run was 46. Not much runs came in the next four overs. Barisal runs 79 at the end of 10 overs.
After that, Barisal's scoreboard changed. The two batsmen added 67 runs in the next 6 overs. At this time sixes fly around the wicket. Four hits spread the fascination. In the batting frenzy of the two, it seemed that Barisal's run would cross two hundred. But when Shariful Mahmudullah was caught in the 17th over, the run rate slowed down a bit.
The left-arm pacer caught the short ball behind the wicket. Mahmudullah played the innings of 73 runs with 7 fours and 4 sixes. At the end of the innings unbeaten Soumya hit 6 sixes with 4 fours. Scored 75. With him unbeaten Shoaib Malik scored 19 runs in 10 balls with 2 fours and 1 six.
