However, as it happened, following four straight defeats, Cumilla were on the backfoot in the middle stage of the competition. Cumilla, still with their heads slightly above water, then had the daunting task of winning against a strong Khulna Tigers, but failed. With 444 runs in 11 innings including a stupendous century, Malan was the backbone of Cumilla’s batting, with the others chipping in on occasions. Left-handed batsman Soumya played well sporadically, totaling 331 runs in 12 innings with two half-centuries. With the ball, Afghanistan spinner Mujeeb Ur Rahman topped the chart for his side with 15 wickets in 12 innings.
