Kyle Mayers played a strong inning of 46 runs in 30 balls with the help of five fours and two sixes, while the opening partnership of 76 runs between Tamim Iqbal and Mehdi Hasan laid a solid foundation.
After the first wicket partnership, Barishal maintained the momentum throughout the chase.
Winning the toss and electing to bowl first, Barishal effectively stifled Comilla's batting lineup, with Sunil Narine being dismissed early for just 5 runs. Kyle Mayers made his first significant success.
Comilla's best batsman Tauheed Hridoy and their captain Liton Das were also sent back inside the powerplay in this BPL, leaving Comilla struggling to recover.
