So that's all from the riveting season of Bangladesh Premier League 2024. Fortune Barishal came out with flying colours and Comilla Victorians are the runners up in this season. For now, this is Saptak Sanyal signing off alongside my co-commentator Sidharth Gulati and our scorer/analyst Paras Yadav. Good night.
FORTUNE BARISHAL SIDE IS LIFTING THE TROPHY NOW! The entire team is feeling ecstatic right now and are overjoyed with the trophy. The team officials have joined the celebrations.
Mushfiqur Rahim- "Yes this is my first win in my third final. My appreciation goes to every player, every support staff. This team is an amazing one."
Mahmudullah Riyad- "Yes it is very much pleasing to be the winner and I am feeling quite happy about the victory."
Tamim Iqbal (Fortune Barishal Captain)- "I would like to call Mushfiqur Rahim and Mahmudullah Riyad. They have never won the tournament. Mushi did a lot for us. I managed the dressing room and Mushi(Mushfiqur Rahim) has done tremendously well. The credit goes to the skipper but I should mention Mushi. In this kind of tournament there's a lot of pressure. Mushi absorbed a lot of pressure from him. This victory was not possible without Mushi, Riyad and every other guys. At a point we were unsure about our qualification to the play off. Lot of people talks a lot about the shorter format but I think sticking to the basics is the most important thing."
Fortune Barishal players are coming here to collect the champions medal!
Litton Das (Comilla Victorians Skipper): "Unfortunately, we didn't perform across departments. But I'm proud of this team. They did well throughout the tournament. Our batting in the final wasn't good. Also, we didn't bowl to the plan in the powerplay. 150 was a good score. Had we bowled and fielded well, things could have been different."
