SYT vs RAR 12th BPL Match Highlights saw Rangpur Riders complete a controlled six-wicket chase against Sylhet Titans at the Sylhet International Cricket Stadium. Chasing 145, Rangpur reached the target in 18.5 overs with seven balls remaining, strengthening their position at third on the points table while Sylhet remained fourth. The result reflected Rangpur’s superior control across the decisive phases of the game in this Bangladesh Premier League encounter.
Sylhet Titans were put in to bat and found early resistance hard to sustain despite a brisk start. Saim Ayub’s short stay set a quick tempo, but the innings soon slipped into a pattern of starts without consolidation. Rangpur’s bowling tightened through the powerplay and early middle overs, forcing Sylhet into recovery mode before the halfway stage.
Afif Hossain provided the backbone of the Sylhet innings with a 46 off 31 balls, striking at close to 150 and briefly lifting the scoring rate when momentum had stalled. Ethan Brookes added 32 from 30, but neither partnership extended deep enough to shift pressure decisively. Rangpur’s bowlers ensured regular breakthroughs, preventing a late-innings surge that could have pushed the total beyond reach.
Faheem Ashraf’s four-over spell defined the innings context. Conceding just 18 runs while taking three wickets, he dismantled Sylhet’s middle order and restricted boundary options during a crucial phase. Mustafizur Rahman complemented that control with three wickets of his own, ensuring Sylhet were limited to 144 for 8, a total that felt competitive but slightly under par given conditions.
In reply, Rangpur’s chase was methodical rather than explosive. Early wickets kept the equation honest, but the required rate never escalated sharply. Litton Das’s 35 off 25 stabilized the innings after the powerplay, while Kyle Mayers anchored the middle overs with a measured 31. Once Mahmudullah arrived, the dynamic shifted decisively in Rangpur’s favor. His unbeaten 34 from 16 balls, supported by Khushdil Shah’s 19 not out, eliminated any late uncertainty and closed the match efficiently.
Sylhet’s bowlers found moments of control, notably through Saim Ayub’s economical four-over spell, but lacked sustained pressure once the game entered the final third. Rangpur’s depth and composure in the chase ultimately separated the two sides.
