Barishal dash Khulna's play off hope

Shakib Al Hasan, Iftikhar Ahmed, and Karim Janat showcased their solid performance that guided the Fortune Barishal to pick up their seventh victory of the Bangladesh Premier League as they beat Khulna Tigers by 37 runs to dash the latter's play offs hopes of the competition.

Opting to bat first, Barishal amassed a mammoth 194-5, banking on an unbeaten 33-ball 51 from Iftikhar and a 21-ball 36 from skipper Shakib.

Iftikhar smacked three four boundaries alongside the similar number of maximums while Shakib struck four sixes and one four to help on the way of their exciting total.

In reply, Khulna failed to reach the target as their batsmen failed to appear with the blazing shows other than Shai Hope and Yasir Ali Chowdhury that aided them to post 157-8

Hope scored a 24-ball 37 while Yasir finished with 60 off 38.

Pacer Janat was the pick of the Khulna bowlers scalping 4-29.
