Angelo Mathews Leads B-Love Kandy to Maiden Championship Victory

In a gripping final showdown at the R Premadasa International Cricket Stadium on August 20, Angelo Mathews, standing in as captain, led B-Love Kandy to their inaugural victory in the Lanka Premier League (LPL) 2023. The thrilling contest saw Kandy secure a heart-stopping five-wicket win over Dambulla Aura in front of a packed stadium.

Facing a target of 148 runs, B-Love Kandy managed to clinch the victory with just one ball to spare, largely thanks to Mathews’ resolute unbeaten innings of 25 runs from 21 balls and a quick cameo from Asif Ali, who contributed 19 runs off 10 balls.

This remarkable win came in the absence of LPL 2023’s highest wicket-taker, highest run-scorer, and captain, Wanindu Hasaranga, who was sidelined due to a hamstring injury. Angelo Mathews, the seasoned campaigner, played a pivotal role in ensuring that Kandy claimed the coveted LPL crown in the tournament’s fourth edition.

Opting to bat first, Dambulla Aura managed to build two substantial 50-run partnerships. However, the Kandy bowlers put up a valiant effort to restrict Dambulla to a total of 147 runs for the loss of four wickets within the allotted 20 overs.

Kandy’s opening duo of Kamindu Mendis (44) and Mohammad Haris (26) got their team off to a flying start, amassing 47 runs without losing a wicket in the powerplay. Wicketkeeper Dinesh Chandimal added to the momentum with a brisk 22-ball 24 before being dismissed by Binura Fernando.

When Angelo Mathews walked to the crease in the 13th over, Kandy were positioned at 95-2. The experienced Mathews displayed remarkable composure under pressure as Kandy faced a sudden dip in fortunes, slipping from 94-1 to 107-4 in just 21 deliveries. Mathews’ innings of 25 runs included three boundaries, and he refrained from taking unnecessary risks, guiding his team to the target in the final over.

Despite Noor Ahmed’s commendable bowling effort for Dambulla Aura, where he took three wickets for 27 runs, it wasn’t enough to secure victory for his team.

Reflecting on the thrilling triumph, Angelo Mathews commented, “I had to draw upon all my experience from the past 15 years. I had to remain calm. We knew the pitch was favorable, and the target was achievable. Asif Ali and Lahiru Madushanka were outstanding in the closing stages. We were fortunate to prevail despite numerous injuries. The last three games were physically demanding for us.”

Wanindu Hasaranga, who collected the winner’s trophy and a $100,000 cheque from Sri Lanka Cricket President Shammi Silva, was not only named the Player of the Series but also finished as both the leading run-scorer and wicket-taker in LPL 2023. Expressing his delight at his contributions, Hasaranga stated that he is thrilled because he made valuable contributions with the bat. Whether he is batting or bowling, he always strives to give his best, whether he is leading the team or not. He was also named Player of the Tournament in the inaugural edition, but this one is even more special as he made a significant impact with the bat.

Overall, Angelo Mathews’ exceptional leadership and calm demeanor guided B-Love Kandy to their maiden LPL title in a nail-biting final, overshadowing the absence of their star captain Wanindu Hasaranga due to injury. The victory showcased the resilience and determination of the team in the face of adversity.

Bangladesh and India Share ODI Trophy in Dramatic Series Finale

Bangladesh and India Share ODI Trophy in Dramatic Series Finale
Bangladesh and India Share ODI Trophy in Dramatic Series Finale

On 22 July, 2023, Bangladesh and India shared the ODI championship title as the decisive third match of the series culminated in a thrilling tie in Mirpur. The gripping finale unfolded with India needing just one run from the last four balls. However, the match took a dramatic twist when Marufa Akter managed to get No. 11 Meghna Singh caught behind, leaving Jemimah Rodrigues stranded after her pivotal contribution of 33 runs off 45 balls in the latter part of the chase.

The match’s foundation was laid by Fargana Hoque’s impressive knock of 107 runs, marking the first century by a Bangladesh batter in Women’s ODIs. Her performance significantly bolstered the host team’s innings, resulting in their second-highest total in the ODI format.

India’s pursuit of the 226-run target progressed steadily, reaching 191 for 4 in the 42nd over of their chase. However, a pivotal moment transformed the game’s course. Harleen Deol, who had been performing well with a score of 77 – her personal best in ODIs, attempted a run that wasn’t there, leading to her run-out. Fahima Khatun’s swift fielding and accurate throw to Nigar Sultana resulted in Deol being caught short of her crease, sparking a collapse. India lost six wickets for 34 runs, ultimately being bowled out for 225, resulting in a 1-1 tie in the three-match series.

Although tied ODIs usually prompt a Super Over, this option wasn’t exercised due to the fact that the extra time allotted for the tie-breaker had already expired by the end of the 99.3 overs in the match.

Nigar’s agile effort to run out Deol served as a redemption of sorts for the Bangladesh wicketkeeper, who had earlier missed a chance to dismiss Smriti Mandhana during the chase.

The talented fast bowler Marufa’s opening delivery was executed with precision – a well-angled length ball outside off. Although Mandhana attempted a slash, she edged the ball. However, Nigar couldn’t hold onto the catch, diving to her left.

Mandhana capitalized on this opportunity and went on to score 59 runs off 85 balls, forming a crucial partnership of 107 runs with Deol for the third wicket.

Bangladesh made their mark early, with Marufa’s outstanding catch dismissing Shafali Verma, who had replaced Priya Punia. The swift fielder initially stretched her right hand to intercept an uppish drive, but after the ball popped out, she dived full-length to her right to complete the catch. Additionally, Sultana Khatun’s dismissal of Yastika Bhatia reduced India to 32 for 2 in the fifth over.

Deol’s entry at No. 4 yielded positive results as she capitalized on Marufa’s width to execute powerful shots. Mandhana and Deol both achieved half-centuries off 74 and 72 balls respectively. However, Fahima’s deceptive bounce led to Mandhana’s dismissal.

Harmanpreet Kaur contributed 14 runs before exiting the field in a dramatic manner, expressing her dissatisfaction with the umpire’s decision. The nature of her dismissal – whether lbw or caught at slip – was initially unclear.

Following Deol’s run-out, subsequent wickets tumbled, with Nahida taking two crucial wickets in three balls. Despite the setbacks, Rodrigues held her end, but Marufa secured the final wicket after briefly leaving the field due to an ankle concern caused by a 30-minute rain delay. The victory prompted cheers from the crowd at the Shere Bangla National Stadium.

Most Runs in PSL 2023 go to Mohammad Rizwan from Multan Sultans

The Pakistan Super League (PSL) 2023 has kicked off with a bang, and some of the top batsmen are already making significant contributions for their respective teams, setting the tone for what promises to be an exciting tournament. In the early matches, seven players announced their presence with impressive half-centuries, making a strong statement from the outset.

The season opener featured Lahore Qalandars facing off against the previous edition’s runners-up, Multan Sultans, in a thrilling encounter that saw the defending champions narrowly clinch victory by just one run. Fakhar Zaman, the Qalandars’ opener, who had been the top run-scorer in the 2022 season with 588 runs in 13 matches, continued his fine form. He played a brilliant innings of 66 runs off 42 balls, propelling his team to a challenging total of 175/6. Zaman’s stellar knock also saw him become only the second player in PSL history to cross the 2000-run mark.

In response, Multan Sultans’ captain, Mohammad Rizwan, played a fiery innings, scoring 75 runs off 50 balls, but it ultimately proved insufficient as his team fell agonizingly short by just one run.

The second fixture of the season was another thrilling contest, with Peshawar Zalmi edging out Karachi Kings by a mere two runs. PSL’s all-time leading run-scorer, Babar Azam, along with Tom Kohler-Cadmore, both notched up half-centuries to power Peshawar Zalmi to a formidable total of 199/5. Despite valiant efforts from Shoaib Malik (52 off 34) and Imad Wasim (80 off 47) that brought Karachi Kings close to a remarkable victory, the Zalmi bowlers held their nerve and secured the win.

Meanwhile, Multan Sultans’ batter Rilee Rossouw, known for his consistency in T20 leagues worldwide, showcased his skills with a fantastic fifty against Quetta Gladiators on February 15. This performance helped Multan Sultans secure their first points in the PSL 2023 standings.

Among the local talents to keep an eye on are Shan Masood and Mirza Baig. Shan Masood, with over 50 international matches for Pakistan under his belt, brings experience to the table, while the young and promising Mirza Baig is eager to impress selectors with a series of valuable contributions.

In terms of the top run-scorers in the Pakistan Super League 2023, Mohammad Rizwan from Multan Sultans leads the chart with 516 runs in 11 matches, followed closely by Babar Azam from Peshawar Zalmi, who has accumulated 416 runs in 9 matches. Imad Wasim of Karachi Kings is also among the top run-scorers with 404 runs in 10 matches.

Picking the Top BPL Team: Who Holds the Title?

BJvip888-Top BPL Team Who Holds the Title
BJvip888-Top BPL Team Who Holds the Title

The most recent edition of the BPL in 2023 was claimed by Comilla Victorians. The Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) stands as the top T20 cricket competition in the nation, overseen by the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB), the governing body for cricket in the country.

Originating in 2011, the inaugural BPL season took place in 2012, spanning Dhaka and Chittagong. Since then, the Bangladesh Premier League has successfully completed eight seasons. The BPL’s debut champions were Dhaka Gladiators, triumphing over Barisal Burners in the 2012 final. Dhaka Gladiators also secured victory in the 2013 edition of the tournament.

On the other hand, Comilla Victorians, who clinched their first title in 2015, have emerged as the most accomplished squad in BPL history, securing four championships. Comilla Victorians recently secured the 2023 title by prevailing over Sylhet Strikers in the final match.

Other teams such as Dhaka Dynamites, Rangpur Riders, and Rajshahi Royals have each seized the BPL title once. A comprehensive list of BPL winners is as follows: Dhaka Gladiators (2012, 2013), Comilla Victorians (2015, 2023), Dhaka Dynamites, Rangpur Riders, and Rajshahi Royals (each with one victory).

Comilla Victorians – 4 BPL titles

Comilla Victorians have secured victory in the BPL on four notable occasions: in 2015, 2019, 2022, and 2023. The franchise hailing from Comilla made their debut in the Bangladesh Premier League during the 2015 season.

During the 2015 showdown, the Victorians engaged in a remarkable last-ball finish against Barisal Bulls, emerging victorious in the final clash. A standout performance by Ashar Zaidi, the Pakistani all-rounder, earned him the title of Player of the Tournament. He showcased exceptional skills across all facets of the game, contributing 215 runs and claiming 17 wickets for the Victorians throughout their triumphant journey.

Moving on to the 2019 final, Tamim Iqbal left a lasting impact with an astonishing and undefeated 141 runs off 61 balls. This impressive feat stands as the second-highest individual score in BPL history. Fueled by this remarkable innings, the Victorians secured a 17-run victory over Dhaka Dynamites in the championship match.

The franchise’s third BPL victory arrived in 2022. Sunil Narine took the spotlight as the match-winner, showcasing his prowess with both bat and ball during the final match. He contributed 57 runs and secured two crucial wickets. In the same season, Victorians’ fast bowler Mustafizur Rahman emerged as the top wicket-taker, claiming an impressive 19 wickets.

The most recent title for the Comilla Victorians was clinched in the BPL 2023 season, where they emerged triumphant in the grand finale against Sylhet Strikers. This victory marked their consecutive championship win.

Dhaka Gladiators – 2 BPL titles

The Dhaka Gladiators stood as the initial of the two Dhaka-based franchises to secure victory in the Bangladesh Premier League. Furthermore, they achieved the distinction of becoming the pioneer team to capture consecutive BPL championships through their triumphs in the initial two seasons.

In the inaugural edition of the tournament held in 2012, Shakib Al Hasan’s exceptional performance served as the driving force behind the Gladiators’ title victory. Shakib’s notable contribution of 280 runs and 15 wickets across 11 matches led to him being crowned as the Player of the Tournament. Despite finishing third in the league stage, the Gladiators outshone Barisal Burners in the final, clinching an eight-wicket victory with 26 balls to spare.

Conversely, the BPL of 2013 witnessed the Gladiators claiming the top position on the points table. Guided by the leadership of Mashrafe Mortaza, the team secured their second championship triumph through an impressive 43-run win over Chittagong Kings in the final. Shakib Al Hasan once again emerged as the standout performer, earning the Player of the Tournament accolade for his remarkable display of 329 runs and 15 wickets.

Outstanding Performers from BPL 2023

BJvip888- Outstanding Performers from BPL 2023
BJvip888- Outstanding Performers from BPL 2023

On February 16, 2023, Comilla Victorians successfully retained their BPL championship by overcoming Sylhet Strikers, and this combined XI prominently includes players from both squads. Here are some of the players that stand out on the list: 

Najmul Hossain Shanto (Sylhet Strikers) 

Runs 516, Average 39.69, Strike rate 116.74

In a turnaround season, Shanto emerged as a force to reckon with. By accumulating 516 runs, he etched his name as the first Bangladeshi to surpass 500 runs in a BPL season. His unbeaten 89 and consistent batting display made him the tournament’s leading run-scorer. Notably, his half-century in the final was pivotal. Shanto’s newfound stability bodes well for his international aspirations.

Khushdil Shah (Comilla Victorians) 

Runs 239, Average 47.80, Strike rate 161.48

Khushdil Shah made his mark as a power-hitting middle-order asset. Despite a slow start on Dhaka pitches, he turned things around for Comilla Victorians. His strike rate of 161.48 underscored his aggressive style, complemented by effective left-arm spin bowling. Khushdil’s ability to rescue his team from early setbacks was a highlight, and his dependable fielding added to his all-round value.


Rony Talukdar (Rangpur Riders) 

Runs 425, Average 35.41, Strike rate 129.17


Rony Talukdar, representing Rangpur Riders, showcased his prowess in the BPL with a standout season. Surpassing his previous record of 317 runs at a strike rate of 140.26 in 2018-19, Talukdar excelled this time. He specialized in quick starts for his team, notably averaging 61.50 during the Powerplay, even though he faced four dismissals within the first six overs. His strong presence among the leading run-scorers of the tournament positions him in direct competition with players like Mohammad Naim, Munim Shahriar, and Anamul Haque, all vying for opportunities in the T20I squad.

Tanvir Islam (Comilla Victorians) 

Wickets 17, Average 17.58, Economy rate 6.36

Standing out as a left-arm spinner in Bangladesh is no mean feat, but Tanvir Islam achieved just that. His accuracy and adaptability across all phases of the game were instrumental for the Victorians. Tanvir’s unique action, which lends dip to his deliveries, and his distinctive celebrations make him a standout prospect. A dependable bowler across T20 formats, Tanvir’s utility is undeniable.

Shakib Al Hasan (Fortune Barishal) 

Wickets 10, Economy rate 6.31, Runs: 375, Strike rate: 174.41

A BPL mainstay, Shakib earned his place in the ESPNcricinfo BPL XI for a record seventh time. He led Fortune Barishal with finesse, especially in the initial stages when the team was on a roll. Although he faced a setback by batting lower down in the Eliminator, Shakib excelled with the ball, consistently taking wickets and maintaining an impressive economy rate.

Taskin Ahmed (Dhaka Dominators)

Wickets 10, Average 20.60, Economy rate 6.02

Taskin Ahmed shone as one of Bangladesh’s premier fast bowlers across formats. In the challenging context of a struggling Dhaka Dominators side, his performance stood out. His remarkable figures of 4 for 9, defending a modest total of 108 runs, showcased his match-winning capabilities. Taskin’s recurring appearances in the ESPNcricinfo BPL XI underline his prowess and value to the team.

The squad will be led by Nigar Sultana Joty and will feature a mix of experienced players and promising youngsters.

The absence of Salma Khatun and Rumana Ahmed will be felt by Bangladesh, as they are two of their key players and have featured in a combined total of 274 international matches for Bangladesh. However, this will also provide an opportunity for the younger players to step up and prove their worth at the international level.

The selectors have named Sanjida Akther Maghla, Fariha Islam Trishna, Rabeya and Sultana Khatun to fill the gaps in the squad. Sultana Khatun, who is yet to represent the national team, has a chance to make her international debut for Bangladesh during the upcoming series. It will be interesting to see how these young players perform and if they can make a mark on the tour.

The squad features a good mix of experienced players and promising youngsters. The likes of Fargana Hoque Pinky, Shamima Sultana, and Jahanara Alam have been around for a while and have played a key role in Bangladesh’s recent success. Fahima Khatun, Murshida Khatun, and Nahida Akter are also experienced players who have been in the setup for a while.

On the other hand, there are also promising youngsters like Sanjida Akther Maghla, who has been in good form in domestic cricket and could make an impact on the tour. Fariha Islam Trishna is another young player who has been included in the squad and will be eager to make a mark. The selectors have also named Rabeya, who is a left-arm spinner, and it will be interesting to see if she gets a chance to play and how she performs.

The squad will be led by Nigar Sultana Joty, who is one of Bangladesh’s most experienced players and has been a key player for them in recent years. She will have a crucial role to play both as a leader and a player, and her performances will be crucial to Bangladesh’s success on the tour.

The tour will begin with a three-match ODI series, which will be a part of the ICC Women’s Championship. The fixtures are scheduled to take place from April 29 to May 4 at the P Sara Oval in Colombo. Bangladesh will be eager to make a good start to the tour and get some valuable points in the ICC Women’s Championship.

In conclusion, Bangladesh’s white-ball tour of Sri Lanka presents an opportunity for the young players to step up and prove their worth at the international level. The absence of Salma Khatun and Rumana Ahmed will be felt by the team, but it will also provide an opportunity for the younger players to make a mark.
