Rajshahi Royals have cruised to a six wicket victory over the hapless Sylhet Thunder to secure a spot in the BPL playoffs. A tidy bowling display was backed up by some energetic fielding, leaving the visitors with an under-par total to chase. Afif Hossain and Liton Das got them ahead of the required run rate and from there it was a piece of cake to get home with almost five overs to spare.
