So, that is it from myself, Karthik Raj, Akshay Bhide and our scorer Ashok. Do stay tuned to our coverage with more exciting cricket coming up including the 4th T20I between India and Australia!
Benny Howell (Bangla Tigers captain): "We scored more runs in the end. What we saw from Jordan Cox was an amazing knock and he got us to a superb total. The boys bowled superbly, stuck to the plans and restricted them. Don't want to change too much. Have a day off tomorrow and come back again after that!"
Jordan Cox (Player of the Match): "Yeah. Getting the awards is awesome but winning the game is the main thing. I was thinking to take this game deep and swing hard in the end. Thankfully, we won and a great team performance. Give yourself a chance. I know it's T10 cricket but it won't work if you don't give yourself a chance. Give yourself a chance and glad that it worked well today."

Magic Moment of the Match: Jordan Cox
11:58 PM IST, 10:28 PM Local Time: Superb all-round performance from Bangla Tigers as they register their first win of the season. The win was obviously set-up by the batters and particularly Jordan Cox who made 90 off 36 balls to help the Bangla Tigers finish with 143/4. However, the Tigers backed it up with a pretty good bowling performance to seal a 20-run victory.
The Gladiators started the chase with a big opening over which fetched 16 runs but Haider Ali struck off his very first delivery to remove Tom Kohler-Cadmore. Then, the pair of Nicholas Pooran and Andre Fletcher looked dangerous as they produced some quite a few massive sixes. Against the run of play, Dominic Drakes dismissed Fletcher in the fourth over while Daniel Sams got rid of the dangerous Pooran a few deliveries later. Just as one thought the Gladiators still had a chance with Andre Russell there in the middle, the Jamaican couldn't get going at all as he ended up with a below-average 11 off 17. At the other end, Fabian Allen tried his best and he finished with 40 off 16 but it wasn't enough as the team fell short by 20 runs!

9.6 D Sams to F Allen
6 SIXXX!!!! A maximum to finish but it won't matter as the Tigers defend the total successfully. They beat the Deccan Gladiators by 20 runs and grab their first win of this year's competition. Sams ends the over with a fuller delivery outside off, Allen gets underneath this one and smashes it over the extra covers fence for a biggie.
9.5 D Sams to A Russell
1 Short from Sams outside off and Russell drags it towards long on for only a single.
9.4 D Sams to A Russell
0 A perfect wide yorker from Sams and Russell fails to get any bat on it. A dot ball.
9.3 D Sams to F Allen
1 High in the night sky and put down by Drakes. Length delivery on the stumps, Allen goes for a big hoick across the line but skies it. Drakes from deep square leg runs in a few yards and gets both hands to it but shells it.
9.3 D Sams to F Allen
WD Ohh Dear!!! Sams bowls it on a length well outside the tramline in the off side and wide signaled by the umpire. 29 required from 4 balls now.
9.2 D Sams to F Allen
6 Back-to-back sixes for Fabian Allen. Sams with a short delivery this time outside off and Allen gets into the position quickly as he pulls it hard over the cow corner fence for another half a dozen. Even Sams is impressed with this shot.
9.1 D Sams to F Allen
6 SIXXXX!!!! Sams bowls a slower delivery right in the slot on the stumps, Allen takes his front leg out of the way and heaves it into the leg side. Gets enough bat on it to clear the leaping deep mid wicket fielder.
What a cracking over from Josh Little under pressure. Superb change of pace and wide lines to restrict the men from the Caribbean!
