DHAKA, Jan 8, 2026 (BSS) - Muhammad Waseem struck a scintillating half-century as Rajshahi Warriors continued its winning run in the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL), thrashing Noakhali Express by four wickets at the Sylhet International Cricket Stadium today. A 43 ball-59 from Soumya Sarkar steered Noakhali to 151-5 but United Arab Emirates (UAE) recruit Waseem trumped him with 35 ball-60, a knock that led Rajshahi to victory in 19 overs, with 152-6. While Rajshahi registered their fourth victory in fifth match, the defeat was Noakhali's sixth in a row, meaning still they stayed win-less in the BPL. Ripon Mondol broke through with the wicket of Shahadat who made 30 before Rajshahi spinners stifled Noakhali batters in the slow-paced wicket. However, after Hasan Murad, got another crucial breakthrough with the wicket of Soumya, Noakhali slowed down considerably.
