Habibur Rahman Sohan and Sabbir Hossain put on a spectacular show with the bat as Rajshahi raced to 200 for 4 in just 15 overs, but their dominance over Sylhet was cut short as rain forced the match to be abandoned. Both teams had to share the points.
Rain had threatened even before the start of play, but after losing the toss and being sent in, Rajshahi got off to a flying start. The opening partnership flourished until the 10.4-over mark, amassing 141 runs with both openers hitting freely.
Habibur scored a blazing 67 off 35 balls, including five fours and five sixes, before being caught at deep midwicket off Ebadot Hossain. Sabbir Hossain followed, hitting 77 from 35 balls with four fours and seven sixes, dismissed at cow corner by Khaled Ahmed.
Sabbir Rahman Roman added a quick 20 off eight deliveries before being trapped lbw by Rejaur Rahman Raja, while Pritom Kumar was run out for 22 off 11 balls just as the rain arrived.
SM Mehrab remained unbeaten on 8 from three deliveries when the weather brought play to a halt, ending the innings after exactly 15 overs.
In the points table, Rajshahi sit seventh with one win from five matches, while Sylhet, with the same record, are in fifth place.
