- BATSMENRB4s6sSR1 length outside off, flashes and this time gets an edge which is comfortably pouched by the keeper. He was living dangerously and paid the price as Mortaza continued to persist with that nagging line and length 5/14 length on middle, swings to the legside and the leading edge hangs high in the air for an eternity but the cover-point stationed himself under it and took it comfortably with his fingers pointing up 29/29.1 full on off and he hits it flat and hard but straight down long-on's throat. He may have wanted to go straighter but ended up dragging it to long-on with enough power but not enough elevation to carry it over 78/315.3 that's two in two and he is on a hat-trick. Unfortunately for Khulna both set batsman are back in the hut. It was a slower ball, deceived the batsman who was early into his shot, closing the face, but the leading edge was taken brilliantly, low to his right in his follow through 134/515.2 length on middle, he goes through the line but the length was a little short to allow him to completely get under it and he only managed it as far as deep midwicket's throat, who had to move a little to his left to pouch that skier safely 134/418.2 slower ball, hoicked towards long-on, had to drag it from well outside off and couldn't get nearly enough of it 152/6Extras9 (b 1, lb 1, w 7)TOTAL181/6 (20 Overs, RR: 9.05)Fall of wickets: 1-5 (Al-Amin, 0.6 ov), 2-29 (Zunaed Siddique, 3.6 ov), 3-78 (Brendan Taylor, 9.1 ov), 4-134 (Mahmudullah, 15.2 ov), 5-134 (Najmul Hossain Shanto, 15.3 ov), 6-152 (Ariful Haque, 18.2 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR18.4 full, misses his mark by a bit, Gayle goes down the ground but doesn't get all of it and Wiese takes a smart catch on the long-on fence 171/37.4 cleaned him up. Yasir has his say against the right hander. Flatter, quicker, angled in as Hales, who was making room again misses a straight one 78/112.2 reverse sweep and he has fired that in and struck him low, given out immediately but de Villiers reviews. Definitely no bat, but was there a feather off a glove? The decision stands and Khulna might finally have a breather 121/219.1 length outside off, down the wicket and stumped. Yasir Shah is not the easiest to skip down the wicket to and Mithun found out there as he was hurried by the pace at which he bowls 176/4Extras6 (w 6)TOTAL183/4 (19.3 Overs, RR: 9.38)Fall of wickets: 1-78 (Alex Hales, 7.4 ov), 2-121 (AB de Villiers, 12.2 ov), 3-171 (Chris Gayle, 18.4 ov), 4-176 (Mohammad Mithun, 19.1 ov)
