The Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) witnessed a heartwarming moment on the field as Mehidy Hasan, the captain of Khulna Tigers, had a special gesture for Chittagong King’s Tom O’Connell at the Sher-e-Bangla Stadium in Mirpur. The incident received widespread appreciation i??n the cricketing community.

Mehidy Hasan Miraz shows true sportsmanship 

The incident happened as Khulna Tigers were playing against Chittagong Kings and the latter were chasing down a total of 204 runs. Haider Ali was dismissed by Mohammad Nawaz which gave way for the arrival of the Australian batter O’Connell on th?e crease. But his arrival took longer than anticipated. Puzzled and frustrated at wasting time, Hasan appealed for a time-out dismissal to O’Connell. The field umpire gave the decision in favour of the Tigers but upon re-visiting his decision, the Tigers�?skipper Hasan decided to withdraw his appeal. O’Connell had already returned to the pavilion and was called back on the crease to bat for the Kings.

However, O’Connell failed to take advantage of a grace opportunity from Tigers as the Australian batter was dismissed on a golden duck by Mohammad Nawaz who gave a stellar performance for his team with the bowl. The incident revealed the true sportsperson spirit of Hasan. Had the Tigers skipper not withdrawn his appeal, O’Connell would’ve been the first batter in BPL history to have been dismissed in this manner.

The only other incident of this sort in international cricket was when Angelo Matthews was sent back to the pavilion during ICC Men’s ODI World Cup 2023 in a match against Bangladesh when skipper Shakib Al-Hasan enforced the decision against the Sri Lankan batt??e??r.

Khulna Tigers dominated Chittagong Kings to win their first match in BPL 2024-25

Khulna Tigers had put a mammoth total on board for Chittagong Kings to chase. Will Bosisto’s unbeaten 75-run knock was the highlight of the Tigers�?batting effort. Contributions from Mahidul Islam Ankon and Mohammad Naim played a crucial role for the home side to put 203 runs on-board.

In response, Chittagong King’s effort with the bat was disappointing. Shamim Hossain tried to stabilise the Kings run-chase with a courageous 78-run knock but continuous fall of wickets from the othe??r end and a huge total from Tigers proved out to be too much for the middle-order batter. In the end, Kings were bowled out for 166 in 18.5 overs. Thus, Tigers won the match by 37 run??s.

West Indies pacer Oshane Thomas experienced a bizarre outing during the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) 2024-25 match between Khulna Tigers and Chittagong Kings at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium, Dhaka. Representing the Tigers, Thomas was ??tasked with defending a daunting total of 204 runs. Op??ening the bowling, he endured an extraordinary 12-ball over that became the highlight of the match due to its sheer unpredictability and unusual length.

15 runs from a single ball: A nightmare start for Oshane Thomas

The first ball of Thomas’s over set the tone for the chaos that ensued. Delivered as a no-ball, it was followed by a free-hit that Naeem Islam dispatche?d for a massive six, instantly adding 7 runs to the scoreboard. However, the drama didn’t stop there. Another no-ball compounded the misery, this time struck for a boundary by Islam, bringing the total tally from that single legal delivery to a staggering 15 runs. This sequence marked one of the rare instances where a bowler conceded such a large number of runs from j??ust one legal ball.

Struggles with accuracy: No-balls and wides galore in BPL 2024-25

Thomas’s inability to find his rhythm continued as the over progressed. He bowled two wides and three additional no-balls, further inflating the Kings�?score and frustrating his team. Despite his raw pace, his lack of control allowed the opposition to capitalize on free hits and extra deliveries. By the time Thomas managed to deliver two legal dot balls, the over had already spiraled out? of control, leaving the Tigers under pressure.

Redemption amid chaos: A wicket to end the over

Amidst the carnage, Thomas managed to find a silver lining. On the fifth legal delivery of the over – following a series of extras – he induced an edge from Islam, which resulted in a crucial dismissal. The wicket brought some relief to the Tigers�?camp, but the damage had already been done. By the end of the over, Thomas had bowled 12 deliveries, conceding 18 runs, with 15 of those coming from the first legal ball alone.

Recognizing Thomas’s struggles, the Tigers�?skipper opted not to bring him back into the attack for the remainder of the match. Despite his shaky performance, the Tigers managed to secure a convincing 37-run victory, thanks to a strong batting display led by William Bosisto and Mahidul Islam Ankon, both of whom struck half-centuries. The Kings�?late resurgence, fueled by Shamim Hossain??’s bl??istering 78 off 38 balls, ultimately fell short.
