Najmul Hasan Shanto (POTM, Rajshahi Warriors Captain): "The wicket looked tricky when we were bowling. We didn't execute our plans at all in the death overs, but credit to Hridoy. Our plan with the bat was simple - we were looking to attack. Fortunately, it came off today. Credit to Waseem as well for finishing off the game. He is a great talent who calculates well in chases like this. These wins give you a world of confidence, but we need to stay in the present and take one game at a time."
Player of the Match: Najmul Hasan Shanto
Nurul Hasan (Rangpur Riders Captain): "(Towhid) Hridoy played a brilliant innings for us. We lacked in fielding. We didn't hunt down wickets in the middle overs. We have big names in our bowling line-up, but they need to perform. We need to get back to winning ways to qualify for playoff from here."

4:00 PM IST, 4:30 PM Local Time: A clinical performance by Rajshahi Warriors. They pull off the chase in the 20th over and register a victory by seven wickets. Muhammad Waseem carries his bat through and plays a brilliant role of a sheet-anchor. Skipper Najmul Hossain Shanto delivers a captain's knock.
After winning the toss, Rajshahi Warriors chose to field, hoping their bowlers could keep the Riders under control on a slow surface. Wickets at regular intervals helped them apply some pressure, but Rangpur recovered well as their opening batter Towhid Hridoy remained steady at one end.
The side managed to cross the 50-run mark inside the powerplay. Only the second time they did this season. However, they struggled as no batter could give support to Towhid. At one stage, when they were struggling at 72/3 in the 12th over, in came Khushdil Shah and he gave wonderful support to Towhid. The duo stitched a partnership of 105 runs for the fourth wicket. Both of them made stroke making look easy on a difficult track. However, Khushdil departed in the last over after making 44 off 29 balls.
Hridoy carried his bat throughout the innings but failed to hit a boundary on the final ball of the innings and remained unbeaten at 97 (56). Riders ended with a score of 178/4.
Except for Abdul Gaffar Saqlain and Sandeep Lamichhane, every Warriors bowler went for runs.
In reply, Warriors lost opener Tanzid Hasan (3) early with just 13 runs on the board. However, no one was aware of the things to come after his dismissal. Opener Muhammad Waseem and skipper Najmul Hossain Shanto played a blinder of a knock. They both made stroke-making look easy on this surface.
Apart from one dropped chance, neither of them didn't played any risky shots. The duo added 142 runs for the second wicket. The highest partnership for any wicket for Rajshahi Warriors in the history of BPL. Shanto played a captain's knock and got dismissed for 76 off 42 balls. After his dismissal, Waseem started playing more aggressively and took his side over the line in the final over. The hard-hitting UAE batter remained unbeaten at 87 off 59 deliveries.
With this win, Warriors have registered their fifth victory from seven games. Meanwhile, Rangpur Riders have suffered their third defeat in seven games.

19.1 N Rana to M Waseem
1 Single and Warriors have registered a victory by seven wickets with five balls to spare. Right arm over. Low full-toss. Waseem moves to the leg side and Rana follows him. However, Waseem takes it on full and manages to drive it towards mid off for a solo. He remains unbeaten at 87 off 59 balls. Superb knock. Very similar to what Towhid Hridoy played for Riders in the first innings. With this, Warriors have registered their fifth victory of the season and are on the brink of qualifying for the playoffs.
