Bangladesh's franchise team Rangpur Riders created history by clinching the title in the first-ever Global Super League, defeating Victoria by 56 runs in a thrilling final. Soumya Sarkar, with a match-winning knock of 86 runs, was crowned Player of the Match and also bagged the prestigious Player of the Tournament award, achieving multiple records in the process.

Rangpur Riders' opener Soumya Sarkar showcased exceptional form throughout the tournament. His contributions included two half-centuries, tied for the most in the tournament. Soumya's unbeaten 86 off 54 balls in the final, featuring 7 fours and 5 sixes, set a record for the highest individual score in the tournament. Additionally, he hit the most sixes (9) in the competition.

Soumya also led key statistics with the highest batting average (47) and the best strike rate (142.42) among players who faced a minimum of 50 balls. With 188 runs in 5 matches, he emerged as the tournament's top run-scorer. His stellar performances earned him both the Player of the Match and Player of the Tournament awards, along with substantial prize money.

Despite uncertainties about player availability, Rangpur Riders fielded a full-strength squad after receiving clearance from the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB). Winning the toss in Guyana, Rangpur opted to bat first and posted a formidable total of 178/3. Soumya’s 86 was complemented by Steven Taylor's fiery 68, which included 4 fours and 4 sixes.

In response, Victoria struggled against Rangpur’s disciplined bowling attack. The Australian side managed only 122 runs in their 20 overs. Harmeet Singh starred with the ball, taking 3 wickets for just 19 runs, while Saif Hassan and Mahedi Hasan claimed two wickets each, ensuring a dominant victory for Rangpur.

The Rangpur Riders' victory in an international franchise league is a significant achievement for Bangladesh cricket, signaling the country's growing prowess in the global cricketing arena.
