Commentary

That’s a wrap from our side as well. Thank you for joining us from all around the globe. This is Prince Suman signing off on behalf of my co-commentator Tugral Azmi and Scorer / Analyst Zeeshan Naiyer. Do join us for the other fixtures across the globe. Until then, Ta-Ta, Bye-Bye.

Imrul Kayes (Comilla Victorians Captain): "At the very end, the bowler performed an outstanding job. We've always believed it. I shared Mosaddek Hossain's conviction that it would be impossible to score 2-3 sixes with the angle given the boundaries."

Mohammad Rizwan (Player of the Match): "The batter had to adapt to the gripping ball and a little bit of difficulty. It's crucial to take it deep and play the scenario on this pitch. I am trying to do what my team and my franchise want from me. When six runs are required off the last ball, everyone's heartbeat increases, and so did mine, but Hossain bowled very well, Litton Das and the Skipper encouraged him."

Yasir Ali (Khulna Tigers Captain): "Yes it was a really close encounter, we tried our best to take the game till the last over. But the Victorian bowlers were very successful in the death overs. Defeat and victory are part of the game, we will try to bounce back in the next match."

4:45 PM IST| Prince: A brilliant display of bowling by Comilla Victorians as they beat Khulna Tigers by 4 runs.

Earlier, after being invited to bat first, Comilla Victorians posted 165 runs in 20 overs

against the strong bowling attack of Khulna Tigers. Mohammad Rizwan was the top contributor for Comilla Victorians, as he scored 54* runs off 47 balls with the help of 1 six and 4 boundaries, while Litton Das scored 50 runs in 42 balls. On the flip side, Wahab Riaz and Nahidul Islam extracted 1 wicket.

In pursuit of the Comilla Victorians’ average score of 165 runs total, the Khulna Tigers got off to a decent start as they scored 43 runs for loss of 1 wicket. But in the middle, they lost wickets in quick succession. Shai Hope(33 runs off 32 balls) and Mahmudul Hasan Joy(26 runs off 13 balls) tried to build some partnership but their progress was halted as Mahmudul Hasan Joy departed. After that, Yasir Ali came and played a good inning for his team but not finished the line of victory. A brilliant display of bowling by Comilla Victorians. Tamim Iqbal( 11 runs off 10 balls) and Andrew Balbirnie opened for Khulna Tigers. Andrew Balbirnie was the top run-scorer for his team, scored 38 runs off 31 balls with the help of 1 six and 5 boundaries, while Yasir Ali scored quick 30* runs off 19 balls. On the flip side, Naseem Shah was the pick of the bowler he scalped 2 wickets, while Tanvir Islam, Mustafizur Rahman, and Mosaddek Hossain extracted a solitary wicket each.

A good win for Comilla Victorians and they will look to carry the momentum in the upcoming matches. On the other side, Khulna Tigers need to regroup and come back stronger in the upcoming matches.
