On the other hand, no bowler has yet to take a fifer in an innings. Three bowlers have claimed four wickets in an innings so far in this tournament. Minister Dhaka's captain Mahmudullah Riyad has led the most runs scorers list with 124 runs, while SylhetSunrisers spinner Nazmul Islam has taken the most wickets with seven. Let's have a look at the top performers at the end of BPL 2022 phase 1.

Bottom Line
Season 8 of the franchise-based Bangladesh Premier League has witnessed the emergence of several exciting new players. These players are expected to make a difference for their respective teams in the coming phases of the tournament. There were not many damaging batting performances in this phase because bowlers dominated most of the BPL 2022 phase 1 fixtures. Among the bowlers, spinners were the most successful in the first phase. Hopefully, the batters will be able to exhibit their true potential in the second phase in Chattogram.
