Global Super League: Rangpur Riders suffer defeat in Super Over

Rangpur Riders suffered a shocking defeat in Super Over against England's Hampshire Hawks in their opening match of the Global Super League T20 at the Providence Stadium in Guyana yesterday.

Hampshire were all out for 132 in allotted 20 overs after deciding to bat first. 

Pakistan's Shan Masood was the top scorer with 56 off 41 balls that featured three fours and two sixes.

English pacer Jack Chappell claimed five wickets for just 23 runs in his four-over spell, while Harmeet Singh chipped in with two wickets.

In reply, Soumya Sarkar and Steven Taylor made a good start for Rangpur, putting on 46 runs for the opening stand.

But after the departure of Taylor, Rangpur started to loss wickets at regular intervals.

Finally, Rangpur finished their 20-over quota on 132 for 8 to go into Super Over. 

Notable contributions came from Soumya (27), Nurul Hasan (24), Khushdil Shah (25), and Steven Taylor (20).

In Super Over, Rangpur batted first and managed 12 runs, courtesy of a six from Khushdil Shah.

Captain Nurul Hasan Sohan invited Chappell to defend the target but the right-arm pacer conceded a six in his first delivery. Requiring five runs from last two balls, Hampshire's Liam Dawson sealed the victory with another six from the last ball.

Rangpur will play their next match against Australian club Victoria at the same venue on December 1.
