Taijul Islam, Junaid Khan and Mahmudullah combined to turn things around as Khulna Titans beat Rajshahi Kings by 25 runs in a low-scoring Bangladesh Premier League game on Tuesday.

It was the first win of the tournament for the Titans after four losses on the run.

Taijul bagged three wickets in his four overs conceding just 10 runs while his captain netted two giving away only 12 runs in his four overs.

Junaid also claimed three wickets, but he was a little costly considering the other two, conceding 26 runs.

Batting first, Khulna could make no more than 128 for 9 as their batsmen failed to make it big.

Ariful Haque was the top-scorer with 26 and barring him no one scored more than 20.

Kings captain Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Isuru Udana and Arafat Sunny bagged two wickets each to help Rajshahi contain the Titans to a lowly total.

Taijul was adjudged the man-of-the-match.
