Bangladeshi all-rounder Mehidy Hasan Miraz has made an immediate impact in his debut Caribbean Premier League campaign, delivering a match-winning four-wicket haul for Guyana Amazon Warriors against Trinbago Knight Riders. His brilliant spell powered Guyana to a comfortable victory, chasing down their target with six wickets and eight balls to spare.
Miraz struck early in the Trinbago innings, removing key batters in consecutive deliveries to put the opposition on the back foot. He first bowled Colin Munro, who had threatened to build momentum with a quickfire 26 off 15 balls, before dismissing Nicholas Pooran for a golden duck on the very next delivery. Returning to the attack in the 13th over, Miraz deceived Jyd Goolie with a sharp googly that crashed into the stumps, before bowling T20 veteran Sunil Narine in his final over. He finished with figures of 4 for 23 from his allotted four overs.
The performance follows an impressive debut where he claimed 3 for 13, bringing his bowling economy rate in the tournament to an astonishing 5.15—the lowest recorded by any bowler in the competition this season. His decisive spell earned him the Player of the Match award.
Reflecting on his performance during the post-match presentation, Miraz expressed his delight at adapting quickly to Caribbean conditions. “Alhamdulillah, this is a wonderful moment for me,” he said. “It is my first time playing in the CPL and to win the Player of the Match award is very special. I really enjoyed the match.”
When asked about the secret behind his early success, the off-spinner attributed his effectiveness to simple execution and reading the pitch conditions accurately. Recognizing that the surface offered assistance to slow bowlers, he focused strictly on hitting consistent line and length rather than experimenting excessively.
Looking ahead, Miraz remains focused on keeping Guyana Amazon Warriors on course for the title. The team has one remaining group fixture against Barbados before heading into the play-offs, where victory in two knockout matches would secure a spot in the final.
