Fortune Barishal captain Shakib Al Hasan had an argument with the umpire during their BPL9 match against Rangpur Riders at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium in Dhaka on 10 January 2023.

Barishal’s chase began after some back-and-forth regarding who would take the first strike and who would begin the bowling for Rangpur.

Fortune Barishal defeated Rangpur Riders by six wickets in a contentious encounter in the ninth Bangladesh Premier League that saw Barishal players getting into repeated altercations with the umpires thanks to Ibrahim Zadran’s half-century and Mehidy Hasan Miraz’s quickfire 43 off 29 balls.

Tuesday’s second game between Barishal and Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium in Dhaka resulted in Barishal’s first victory thanks to an 84-run partnership between Ibrahim (who scored 52 off 41 balls) and Miraz (off 58 deliveries).

After being dismissed, Iftikhar Ahmed of Pakistan (25 off 18 balls) and Karim Janat of Afghanistan (21 off 14 balls) put together an uninterrupted 38-run partnership off 24 deliveries, bringing Barishal to 162-4 in 19.2 overs.

Typical #ShakibAlHasan, he is not happy, and making his point clear. Drama before a ball has been bowled in the 2nd innings between Barishal and Riders.
