Cumilla beat Barishal in last-over thriller to Win their 3rd BPL

Dhaka, 18 Feb- A scintillating half-century by Sunil Narine has helped Cumilla Victorians edge Fortune Barishal in a nail-biter by 1 run and clinch their third Bangladesh Premier League title.

The West Indian smashed a 23-ball 57 to follow up on his two wickets. Barishal were two runs away from what could have been a tremendous victory at Mirpur Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium in Dhaka on Friday, but Mujeeb Ur Rahman was run out in the last ball off Shohidul Islam after Towhid Hridoy drove the ball straight to extra cover.

In the previous ball, Hridoy got a life and Barishal earned two precious runs after Tanvir Islam dropped an easy catch at backward square leg. Barishal had two more wickets in hand in the end.
