Fortune Barishal have won the BPL for the first time in the history of this tournament. The skipper Tamim Iqbal wanted to dedicate the trophy to two of the most senior players of the franchise - Mushfiqur Rahim and Mahmudullah Riyad.
"I would like to call Mushfiqur Rahim and Mahmudullah, I would like to dedicate this trophy to them. Mushi did a massive job in the field, he made the field changes and it is Mushi's trophy. Because I was named the captain, I get the credit. In this kind of tournament, there is a lot of pressure, Mushi took a lot of pressure away from me, and I could focus on my batting, it wouldn't have been possible without the support of Mushi, Riyadh (Mahmudullah), and the others."
On their comeback after a slump in the start of the tournament -
"There was a time when we were almost out of the tournament but we made it into the semi-finals, a lot of people talk about the shorter formats but I feel sticking to the basics is most important, there is where experience comes into play."
Tamim Iqbal's brilliant campaign came to an end as he finished the tournament being the most run scorer of BPL 2024. And won the player of the tournament award as well.
