The ongoing sixth edition of the Bangladesh Premier League has been filled with thrilling encounters, powerful hits, and more. However, the sixth match of the season between Fortune Barishal and Khulna Tigers took an unfortunate turn despite the Tigers winning by eight wickets. Shoaib Malik, a spinner, faced scrutiny as he bowled three no-balls in a single over. Fans have taken to social media, speculating that the veteran Pakistani cricketer may have fixed the match. The reactions are pouring in, but whether there will be an official investigation remains to be seen.
Meanwhile, in the match, Fortune Barishal batted first, posting a formidable 187 for four in their allotted 20 overs, with Mushfiqur Rahim leading the way with an unbeaten 68 off 39 balls. Chasing the target of 188, the Khulna Tigers successfully achieved victory with two overs to spare. Anamul Haque and Evin Lewis played crucial roles, scoring rapid fifties to set the foundation for the chase. With this win, the Tigers maintain their unbeaten record, sitting at the top of the table with two wins in as many games.
