Watch: In Qualifier 2 of BPL 2024 at Mirpur, Kyle Mayers produced the 2024 edition of his “greatest ever shot”.
Rangpur Riders thanks to Shamim Hossain’s late attack (59 not out with 24 balls, 5 fours and 5 sixes) after Fortune Barishal captain Tamim Iqbal decided to play in Shere Bangla National They improved from 18-4 to 149-7. stadium.
For Barishal, James Fuller won with 3-25 and Mohammad Saifuddin with 2-27. Kyle Mayers started the bowling and finished with 1 win and 22 losses in 4 overs.
When Mayers joined Mushfiqur Rahim, Ranpur hit back and reduced Barishal to 69-3 in 10 overs. Nurul Hasan, who had been holding back Shakib Al Hasan till this point, finally brought him into the match and quickly dismissed him after Mushfiqur reached two boundaries.
Mayers hit Mohammad Nabi at the other end for six points. When Nurul Nabi replaced Mahedi Hasan, Mayers stayed at the plate, going 2-for-6 and 2-for-4.
Fazalhaq Farooqi bowled the next ball. Mayers couldn’t defend the first pitch. Left-hander Farooqui bowled over the wicket and hit a short delivery outside the off-stump. Mayers stayed in the goal area and judged the right time to break through the marking line.
Adam Gilchrist was in awe after playing a stroke in a T20I against Australia at Carrara Oval in 2022.
I’m sure there has been a better shot in the history of the game, but I just can’t remember it! 😳👌😂 https://t.co/4KAN8ue9xn

In IPL 2023, perhaps to show that it was not an isolated incident, Mayers let go of the bat again, this time against Sam Curran. And with BPL 2024, we completed the “trilogy”.
Farooqi had the last laugh when he caught Mayers (28 off 15 balls, 1 four, 3 sixes) on the next ball, but by then the target was 31 off 33 balls. It was falling. Mushfiqur (47 not out off 38 balls, 6 fours, 1 six) and David Miller (22 not out, 18 balls off, 2 fours, 1 six) got Barishal through with his nine balls remaining.
Barishal will now play Comilla Victorians in the final on March 1 at the same venue.
