The victory lifted Rajshahi to third place in the six-team points table with eight points, while winless Noakhali remained rooted at the bottom after six outings and are virtually out of contention for a playoff spot.

Newcomers Noakhali Express continued their miserable run in the ongoing Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) T20 as they suffered their fourth consecutive defeat on Monday, going down by six wickets to Sylhet Titans in Sylhet.

Noakhali were bowled out for 61 in just 14.2 overs, which stands as the fourth-lowest total in BPL history.

Pacer Ripon Mondol starred with a four-wicket haul as Rajshahi Warriors registered a comfortable six-wicket victory over Noakhali Express in the ongoing Bangladesh Premier League at the Sylhet International Cricket Stadium on Monday.

Sylhet will look to carry this thrilling victory into their next match, while Noakhali must regroup after consecutive losses in the opening stages of the tournament.

Tanvir Ahmed and skipper Shak Mahedi Hasan delivered dominant performances as Chattogram Royals began their Bangladesh Premier League campaign with a comprehensive 65-run victory over Noakhali Express at the Sylhet International Cricket Stadium on Friday evening, on the opening day of the tournament.

The franchise confirmed the matter through their official Facebook page on Tuesday where they welcomed the 19-year-old uncapped opening batter from Afghanistan.

Noakhali Express Managing Director (MD) Bazlur Rahman Ratan raised some eyebrows ahead of the franchise’s maiden Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) campaign with his unusually candid comments on captaincy preferences and by messing up the name of the side’s head coach.

With the 12th edition of the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) T20 fast approaching, the six participating franchises have already begun assembling their squads and finalising their coaching and managerial setups.
