BPL 2019: Best Overseas XI of the tournament
Comilla Victorians collected their second BPL title thanks to sensational knock from Bangladesh's greatest batsman of all time, Tamim Iqbal.
2. Alex Hales (Rangpur Riders)
Another one of those players who didn’t get to play all the games, but had a significant impact on the tournament was Alex Hales. The Englishman is known for his clean striking and that was very well on display throughout his time in the 2019 edition of BPL before an injury ruled him out.
Hales featured in 8 games for the Rangpur Riders and registered 304 runs for the side, which included a hundred and two half-centuries. He also amassed these runs at an average of 43.43, which is pretty decent for a top order batsman. Unfortunately for him, Rangpur failed to make it to the finals despite finishing on the top of the points table in group stages.
3. Rilee Rossouw (Rangpur Riders)
Former South African cricketer Rilee Rossouw has been featuring mainly in T20 leagues these days and his last few outings prior to the BPL were not particularly memorable. But he had one heck of a campaign with the Rangpur Riders and was one of the pillars behind making their side the table toppers at the end of group stages.
Rossouw finished the tournament as the highest run-scorer, with 558 runs in 13 innings. He spanked a hundred and five half-centuries for the club and scored at an average of 69.75. Rossouw and Hales scored centuries in the same game against Chittagong, where the Riders eventually managed to score 239 runs.
