A Spirited Fightback by Sylhet Titans

The arrival of Afif Hossain at the crease gave Titans the much-needed batting boost. He struck the Royals bowlers confidently by playing his natural aggressive game. Unfortunately, he received little support from the other end, as the middle order of Titans failed badly in today’s match.
