Barring an innings of 27 runs from 19 balls, Mosaddeq has not yet done much with the bat in this year’s BPL. However, he did not have to bat in two matches. On the other hand, Shakib Al Hasan is in great form with the bat and has maintained his rhythm in bowling. Shakib also played a big shot off Comilla’s off-spinner Naeem Hasan in ‘joint practice’. Often the ball bounced outside the academy premises. The Barisal skipper made it clear that he is in form!
Barisal’s assistant coach Mizanur Rahman’s words can be compared with Shakib’s batting, ‘I told Shakib in the match before the last match (unbeaten 89 runs against Rangpur), ‘The way you batted, I have seen the best innings of your life. I have never seen Shakib batting in such conditions from start to finish. He batted like that in the next match as well. In everyone’s view, Shakib is in the best form now.’
