Rabby blitz takes HP into semis

Bangladesh Cricket Board’s High Performance Unit secured a semifinal spot in the Top End T20 series in Darwin, Australia, with a three-wicket victory over Perth Scorchers. Mahfuzur Rahman Rabby’s unbeaten 32 off 13 balls was crucial in chasing down Perth’s 129-5. Despite early setbacks caused by Matthew Kelly’s 3-8, the HP Unit reached 130-7 in 19.3 overs. Skipper Akbar Ali (35) and Jishan Alam (26) also contributed significantly. The HP Unit finished the first round with three wins and three losses. Daily Star
