And given Rangpur Riders’ long batting line up, boasted with several power-hitters, Barisal Bulls were kept apprehensive about sealing the deal in their BPL match at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium on Monday. Kevon Cooper, a seasoned and dedicated T20 campaigner however thought it different way. As Riders kept building up some significant partnerships to be on course of a victory, Cooper every time jolted the proceedings with bowling. His first spell fetched him the crucial wickets of Shakib Al Hasan and Misbah-ul-Haque. Thereafter he claimed compatriot Darren Sammy in the last over to shatter Riders hope. He added two more wickets in that over to return his career best five for 15. His effort made him an absolute player of the match.
