The incident took place in the first over of Chittagong Kings’ innings.
On just the second ball of the innings, Kyle Mayers delivered a brilliant banana-shaped inswinger, pitched around the sixth stump. The ball curved back into Khawaja Nafay, who tried to defend but left a big gap between bat and pad. The delivery beaten him completely and hits the stumps.
Before the wicket delivery, Kyle Mayers was hit for a boundary on the first ball. He bowled a back-of-a-length delivery outside off, and Khawaja Nafay, hanging back, played it with soft hands, guiding it past the short third man for a boundary. However, Mayers came back strong on the next ball with a brilliant inswinger that rattled Nafay’s stumps.

Shamim Hossain and Parvez Hossain Emon then steadied the innings with a vital 77-run partnership for the fifth wicket, bringing some stability to the Kings’ innings. Despite Shamim’s impressive 79 off 47 balls, the Kings were restricted to 149/9, thanks to Mohammad Ali’s brilliant performance, taking 5/24, including four wickets in his final over.

With this win Fortune Barishal have qualified for the final.
