BPL's first champions
Dhaka
Gladiators won the inaugural Bangladesh Premier League by bringing out their
A-game in the knockout stages of the tournament. They took only 15.4 overs to
overhaul the Barisal Burners total and complete a eight-wicket win in front of
a packed Shere Bangla Stadium in Mirpur.
The
gulf between the two teams was evident as the Pakistan-heavy Gladiators had a
lot more to offer with bat and ball compared to the top-heavy Burners, who
could only score 140 for 7 in 20 overs. Gladiators' young Anamul Haque was the
only local player to impress, scoring 49 off 38 balls with five fours and a
six. He sealed the victory for the home team with a lofted on-drive against left-arm
spinner Nazmul Islam with 26 balls to spare.Anamul added 110 for the second
wicket with the opener Imran Nazir, who hammered six fours and six sixes in his
43-ball 75. That partnership ensured victory for Gladiators, whose turnaround
in the tournament in the knockout stages coincided with the arrival of Shahid
Afridi and Saeed Ajmal.
The
Burners' defence of their modest total suffered because of poor catching.
Mohammad Mithun, a wicketkeeper who was auctioned for $80,000, had a terrible
time under the lights. Fielding in the deep, he dropped Nazimuddin twice at
deep square-leg off consecutive Kabir Ali deliveries in the second over.
