Commentary

That's it. Thank you for joining us! On behalf of scorer Paras, I, Sidharth, say goodbye! Cheers!

Nurul Hasan (Rangpur Riders Skipper): "A good win. First six overs were crucial. Credit to the openers Babar (Azam) and Rony (Talukdar). Full marks to Shakib (Al Hasan) for his all-round effort. We are hopeful of continuing the momentum."

Shakib Al Hasan (Player of the Match): "I was struggling with the bat early on, but I adapted and playing some shots gave me confidence. I'm looking to contribute consistently for the team. It's a tough competition. Never easy for batters to bat on low and slow pitches in the country."

17.6 M Nabi to I Sukkur

W WICKET! That's it. Length delivery, drifting in between middle and leg, Sukkur pushes it to the left of Nabi, the batter charge for a single, but the bowler is quick to get to the ball and throw it back at the non-striker, stumps rattled and looks like Sukkur is short of his crease. An appeal, and it's sent upstairs. First replay confirms Sukkur has failed to cross the crease. GONE! What a victory for Rangpur Riders!
