Rangpur Riders clinched a nail-biting one-run victory over Hobart Hurricanes in the GSL 2025, defending a modest total of 151. Azmatullah Omarzai and Khaled Ahmed were instrumental in the win, with Omarzai dismissing Mohammad Nabi in the final over and Khaled picking up a second consecutive four-wicket haul. Kyle Mayers anchored Rangpur’s innings with an unbeaten 67 off 42 balls, helping the defending champions post a competitive total. Despite Nabi’s valiant 44 and some support from Ben McDermott and Odean Smith, the Hurricanes fell just short, finishing third on the points table behind table-toppers Rangpur.
