That brings us to the end of the coverage of this fantastic encounter between the Khulna Tigers and the Rangpur Riders. It was Rangpur Riders' day today as they sneaked away with a victory. Do join us for all the upcoming games from all around the globe. For now, it's me Hitesh Peddurwar signing off along with my co-commentator Tugral Azmi and scorer/analyst Zeeshan Naiyer. Until then stay safe.
Nurul Hasan(Rangpur Riders Skipper): "It's a great comeback for us the way our bowlers bowled and Shoaib bhai batted really well. You know Omarzai bowled really well at the start. There was a bit of dew in the outfield and our fielders took all the catches. Shoaib bhai played really well we need to learn a lot from him."
Robiul Haque(Player of the match): " We know here it's difficult to keep the economy under control. Our bowlers did really well, we are just trying to bowl on the good lengths and our coaches, management and teammates help a lot in our journey. It is always tough but we are always trying our best."
Time for the post match presentation ceremony!!!
Yasir Ali (Khulna Tigers Skipper): "The bowlers performed a decent job. We were forming an alliance with Azam, but we still needed 20 more runs. Losing 2-3 early wickets is a serious setback. I ought to have exercised more accountability."
