Fortune Barisal
beat four-time champions Comilla Victorians
to win the BPL title for the first time. Their 6-wicket win made the tournament the new champions. Tamim Iqbal and Mehdi Hasan Miraj got off to a flying start as Comilla chased the target of 155 runs. However, after the departure of the two, the team fell into a ditch. Kyle Myers is the one who pulled the team from there. All three have become the best players of the final.
The Caribbean all-rounder had 5 fours and 2 sixes in his 30-ball 46-run innings. Which contributes a lot to the team's victory. His run in the middle overs gave the team confidence. As a result, Mahmudullah Riyad and David Miller have been able to come to the end.
Kyle Myers being the best in BPL finals makes it even more special. He made himself an international cricket star from Bangladesh. When the Tigers returned to international cricket after Corona, the hosts were on the way to win the Chittagong Test against the West Indies. But Sate came down to bat and scored a double century to give the team a great victory and became the man of the match. Later, he won the series best award. And today, with his 46-run innings in Mirpur, the Kittankhola riverside division won the BPL title for the first time.
Meyers was suffering from lack of form before coming to BPL. But here is the Caribbean all-rounder at his best from the first match. He also became a champion. So at the end of the final, he looked excited. He won the final best award with 1 wicket along with 46 runs off 30 balls, 5 fours and 2 sixes.
Meyers told commentator Ramiz Raja, "It was difficult to get runs for the last few months. Played one match each in SA T20 and Australia. It feels great to come here and get some runs. Everyone has given us tremendous support on and off the field. Management also did a great job. The fans were always by our side.
"It feels good to be on top of the West Indians," Myers added. We are a very good team in T20. Hope more Caribbean players come to BPL. Feeling bad for Narine, Russell and Charles for being in the losing team.
