Fortune Barishal pacer Khaled Ahmed claimed a four-wicket haul as they restricted Rangpur Riders to 134-9 in their Bangladesh Premier League match at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium in Dhaka on Saturday.
Barishal bowlers kept taking wickets in regular succession, not allowing Ranpur to build any momentum.
Shamim Hossain's 33-ball 34 and Mahedi Hasan's 19-ball 29 helped Rangpur to post a total in excess of 130.
Rangpur's star all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan could make just two in his first innings in a competitive game since becoming a member of the parliament.
Earlier, Barishal skipper Tamim Iqbal won the toss and opted to field first.
