From 6,6 to W,W,W -- the way things unfolded in the final over of the first innings between Durdanto Dhaka and defending champions Comilla Victorians yesterday was as surprising to the protagonist, Shoriful Islam, as it was to the fans who had flocked in on a holiday at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium to witness the 10th edition of the Bangladesh Premier League kick off.
