RJW vs CHR 19th BPL Match Highlights saw Chattogram Royals chase down a modest target of 129 at Sylhet, securing a 2-wicket win in a closely contested encounter. Rajshahi Warriors set 128/9 in their 20 overs, but Hasan Nawaz’s unbeaten 35 and a tight bowling spell helped CHR complete the chase on the final ball. The victory consolidates Chattogram Royals’ top position in the BPL points table, while Rajshahi Warriors remain fourth.

After winning the toss, Rajshahi Warriors elected to bat first on a pitch that offered some early movement. Their innings started from multiple batters, including Muhammad Waseem (19) and SM Meherob (19), but regular wickets prevented them from building substantial partnerships. The team managed only 128/9 in their 20 overs, reflecting a competitive but below-par total for a T20 match. Extras contributed 12 runs, highlighting some discipline issues from the bowling side as well.

Chattogram Royals’ bowlers exerted control through the powerplay and middle overs, with Aamer Jamal taking 3 wickets for 23 runs and Hasan Nawaz claiming a crucial scalp. Shoriful Islam and Tanvir Islam supported with consistent breakthroughs, ensuring that Rajshahi never fully accelerated in the latter stages of their innings. The disciplined attack kept the run rate in check despite the pitch offering some batting-friendly moments.

During the chase, CHR lost early wickets but maintained a steady momentum through Hasan Nawaz and Mahedi Hasan’s 28-run contribution. Asif Ali’s 27 helped steer the chase toward the final overs, while the lower order held nerves to secure the win. The last few overs saw tactical bowling changes and field placements attempting to stem the flow of runs, but Hasan Nawaz’s calm batting ensured the target was reached on the final delivery.

Adaptability played a key role, with the Chattogram Royals adjusting to early dismissals and making the most of partnerships, while the Rajshahi Warriors struggled to capitalize on their starts. The match reflected the fine margins typical in T20 cricket, where small contributions from the middle order and disciplined death bowling define outcomes.
