Barishal clinched their first victory in the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL), as they beat Rangpur Riders by six wickets at Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium today.

The game was stopped unexpectedly for five minutes when Barishal came to chase the innings as their captain Shakib Al Hasan entered the ground and was seen to exchange some heated words with the umpires.

Later, Barishal manager Sazzad Ahmed Shipon clarified that Shakib did what was within the rules.

However, Barishal went on to win the game, chasing Rangpur's 158-7 with four balls to spare as Iftikhar Ahmed sealed the deal with a massive six to help them reach 162-4.
