- BATSMENRB4s6sSR14.3 shorter and outside off, flat-batted to long-off off the back foot. Run-out chance sent to the TV umpire. Gayle plucks the throw with one hand and breaks the stumps to catch Liton well short. He was aiming for the second, but was sent back, and now he's gone 129/28.3 knuckle ball, very full, slow, and dips in late. Sabbir swings across the line, but doesn't connect. He's ht in line with off and middle, and that's adjacent. He chats with Liton and decides against a review and rightly so 73/118 slower ball, floated on middle, Pooran does not pick the offcutter. He swings waaay too early and is cleaned up for 26 off 16 balls 163/319.3 full and tailing in from wide of the crease, swings and misses, he gets castled 186/419.4 pitched up and outside off, lofted in the air. He can't clear long-off.

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR2.3 Tanvir claims the big scalp of Gayle. Jumps from a back of a length outside off, Gayle looks to cut, but the extra bounce does him in. Tickles it behind to the keeper 11/31.3 short and angling away outside off, Maruf throws his bat at the ball and slashes an outside edge that flies to slip. Rana wheels away in celebration 11/12 full and wide outside off, Hales backs away outside leg and lashes it straight to extra-cover. This flew to the fielder as well. Good catch from Liton. He celebrates the catch with a jig 11/211.4 Taskin knocks out the leg stump and sets off on a celebratory sprint. Back of a length and angling in, the ball keeps low, sneaks under the swing of Rossouw and floors leg stump 100/414 full and angling into the pads, picked up and flicked straight into the lap of deep square leg. Taskin is pleased as punch 117/516.5 Howell falls over a reverse-sweep. Lamichhane keeps it full and straight and nails the stumps. Howell is on the floor 138/6Extras6 (lb 1, w 5)TOTAL160/6 (20 Overs, RR: 8)Fall of wickets: 1-11 (Mehedi Maruf, 1.3 ov), 2-11 (Alex Hales, 1.6 ov), 3-11 (Chris Gayle, 2.3 ov), 4-100 (Rilee Rossouw, 11.4 ov), 5-117 (Mohammad Mithun, 13.6 ov), 6-138 (Benny Howell, 16.5 ov)
