Noakhali Express vs Sylhet Titans Highlights, 13th Match | Jan 05: Bowlers Shine as Sylhet Titans Seal 6-Wicket Win

NOE vs SYT 13th BPL Match Highlights saw Sylhet Titans chase down a modest target of 62 against Noakhali Express at the Sylhet International Cricket Stadium. Sylhet achieved the target in just 8.4 overs with 6 wickets in hand, moving up to third position on the points table while Noakhali remained sixth. The match was dominated by disciplined bowling and efficient shot-making under pressure.

Noakhali Express won the toss and opted to bat first, setting out to post a competitive total on what appeared to be a slow, low-scoring pitch. Their innings never gained momentum as early wickets fell regularly, leaving them reeling at 28 for 3 inside the first five overs. Habibur Rahman Sohan’s 18 off 16 balls was the top contribution in a lineup struggling against disciplined bowling.

Sylhet Titans’ bowlers executed precise lines in both powerplay and middle overs. Nasum Ahmed was particularly lethal, claiming five wickets for just seven runs across four overs, exploiting the small boundaries and the tentative stroke play of Noakhali’s batters. Khaled Ahmed and Azmatullah Omarzai supported well, chipping in with one wicket each and maintaining a tight economy. Noakhali’s middle order offered little resistance, with Mahidul Islam Ankon top-scoring at 25 before being dismissed, leaving the team all out for 61 in 14.2 overs.

The chase began on a shaky note for Sylhet as Parvez Hossain Emon fell for just one, but Tawfique Khan counter-attacked immediately, scoring 32 off 18 balls. Zakir Hasan’s 24 helped consolidate the innings, and despite Afif Hossain’s brief contribution, Sylhet reached the target in under nine overs. Zahir Khan’s early triple strike for Noakhali could have tilted momentum, but Sylhet’s depth and adaptability ensured a smooth finish.

The match also highlighted tactical awareness with timely strategic timeouts and use of bowling variations. Noakhali’s inability to build partnerships combined with Sylhet’s calculated aggression underscored the decisive impact of effective bowling under pressure in a low-scoring contest.
