DHAKA: Rangpur Riders scored a meager 82-run losing all wickets in 19.5-over against Comilla Victorians in the 11th match of Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) 2015 at Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium in Mirpur on Friday.

Winning the toss, Victorians captain Mashrafe Mortaza decided to field first. Their bowlers did an excellent job, restricting Riders below even 100-run.

Nuwan Kulasekara picked up four wickets giving away only 12-run in his four overs while left arm Abu Hider took two. Besides, Sunil Narin and Ashar Zaidi took one wicket each. Arafat Sunny and Saqlain Sajib ran themselves out.
