DHAKA, Jan 20, 2026 (BSS) - A career-best 4-15 by pacer Syed Khaled Ahmed helped Sylhet Titan restrict Rangpur Riders to a meager 111-9 in the Eliminator game of the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) at Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium today. Former England all-rounder Chris Woakes, who is playing his first match today and left-arm spinner Nasum Ahmed claimed two wickets apiece to further damage Rangpur. In between Woakes sent back his compatriot Dawid Malan for 4, leaving Rangpur reeling to a miserable 11-3. Khushdil Shah and Mahmudullah Riyad tried to repair but Nasum struck with the wicket of Khushdil, ending the 34-run fourth wicket partnership. Nurul Hasan Sohan was the only other batter apart from the duo to reach double digits by making 18, which eventually helped Rangpur go past 100 runs, which looked unlikely.
