Complaint on 7-ball over

Sylhet Sixers lodged a complaint with the BPL governing council after their loss to Rangpur Riders against umpire Mahfuzur Rahman, who made Sylhet pacer Kamrul Islam Rabbi bowl a seven-ball over in the 16th over of Rangpur's chase.

"Rabbi bowled an extra ball in the 17th (16th) over," said a visibly downbeat and frustrated Nabil Samad, Sylhet's left-arm spinner. "Rabbi reminded the umpire of the number of balls before bowling the extra delivery, but that did not change anything. I don't know if the umpire checked with the third umpire at the time."

"We have lodged a complaint," added Sylhet media manager Tamzidul Islam. "Our captain pointed out the error during the match on the field. The third umpire cross-checked and told us to lodge a written complaint."

Tamzidul also informed that upon Kamrul reminding umpire Mahfuzur that he had bowled six balls already, the umpire checked with third umpire Gazi Sohel, who at the time concurred with his on-field colleague and said that Kamrul had one ball left.
