Comilla Victorians 173 for 6 (Joy 65, Moeen 46, Alauddin 2-24) beat Sylhet Sunrisers 169 for 5 (Ingram 89, Anamul 46, Mustafizur 3-23) by four wickets

How the match played out

Sunil Narine's late onslaught gave Comilla Victorians a four-wicket win against Sylhet Sunrisers. It brings an end to BPL 2022's Sylhet leg where the home side lost all three matches, but like in this match, they were in the game for a long time on all three occasions.

Comilla won with a ball to spare after Narine hammered 19 runs off the penultimate over bowled by the newcomer AKS Swadhin. Abu Hider struck the winning runs off the second last ball of the game.

The result left Colin Ingram, who made 89, with yet another big score in a losing cause. Sylhet banked on a 105-run opening stand between Ingram and Anamul Haque, who made a decent 46 off 33 balls. But the rest of the batters couldn't quite replicate the big-hitting openers, mustering only 47 runs in the last five overs.

Big hit

Ingram continued where he left off the previous day. He made 90 off 49 balls against Fortune Barishal, but this time, he took a bit more time to get to 89 off 63 balls. A feature of this innings, as was the case on Tuesday, was his ability to thread the gap on the off side. He struck five fours through point, apart from couple of sixes down the ground. Ingram was particularly attacking against left-arm spinner Tanvir Islam, hitting him for five boundaries.

Mahmudul Hasan Joy guided Comilla's chase till the 18th over with his 65 off 50 balls. He struck sweetly through backward point for four boundaries, apart from couple of cover-driven fours and two sixes over long-on. He added 82 runs for the third wicket with Moeen Ali, who survived a stumping chance off his first ball, going on to make 46 off 35 balls.

When Alauddin Babu removed Joy, Narine took over, hitting Swadhin for two fours and a six in the 19th over. Comilla captain Imrul Kayes' 16 off eight balls also contributed to the chase.

Big miss

Sylhet captain Bopara continues to have an ordinary BPL campaign, having mustered only 57 runs in seven innings. There have been a few occasions, like today's game, when he got a bit of breathing room to go after the bowling, but fell to Narine for one. Bopara's 2016 season was his worst, when he made only 35 runs in five innings.
