Rangpur Riders seal first victory in BPL 3

Rangpur Riders has sealed off a spectacular win against Chittagong Vikings by two wickets in the first game of the third round of BPL-2015 on Sunday.

The Pakistani test captain Misbah slammed 61 off just 39 as Rangpur Riders defeated Chittagong Vikings by 2 wickets.

Mohammad Amir's opening spell of 2-1-5-2 highlighted his big strides towards an international return.

 His precision twinned with Taskin's pace breathed fire as Riders found themselves tottering at 23-4 in a big chase.

 Misbah then did what he so often does for Pakistan - consolidation. The pacy consolidation backed by some nasty hitting by Perera gave Riders a chance until Amir bowled a 2-wicket over yet again snaffle both the well-set batsmen and posed a big if. Sammy then walked out, did his thing of swinging the bat and knocked a 7-ball 18 to seal the win.
