Get Ball by Ball Commentary of Khulna Titans vs Rajshahi Kings, Bangladesh Premier League 2019, 8th Match

8.54pm That's all from us at ESPNcricinfo. Hope you enjoyed our coverage of the double header. See you soon for more BPL action!

8.45pm The man who lives in Khulna - Mehidy Miraz - leads his Rajshahi side to victory. It's the third-straight loss for Khulna, who need to regroup as soon as possible. But a terrific effort from Rajshahi today... the win was almost as clinical as possible.

Laurie Evans: It feels great and there was a bit of nerves. Tonight's performance was set up by the bowlers. You can have as many overseas as you want but the local guys are the ones who know the conditions. It's a great win and good for the whole team and it's about building on the win. We still have a lot of good teams in the competition and we have a long way to go.

18.5

Wiese to Soumya Sarkar, FOUR, back of a length on middle, and that's been pulled over deep midwicket! Fielder in the deep was inside the ropes, and the ball falls beyond his head. Rajshahi Kings win by seven wickets!

17.1

Zahir Khan to Mehidy Hasan Miraz, OUT, bowled round his legs! Length ball outside leg stump, and turning around his hips as he misses the flick. What a delivery, but too late on the day to trouble Rajshahi too much. A wonderful innings from the captain comes to an end

16.6

Stirling to Soumya Sarkar, no run, length ball, wide outside off, and he tries to play the cut. But he misses, and the keeper collects. Soft appeal for caught-behind from the keeper, and Stirling convinces his captain to review. Ball was perilously close to the outside edge... but there's no deviation from the pictures. Let's see what the umpire decides: nope, not out. Just a waste of a few minutes

Stirling to Soumya Sarkar, no run, length ball, just outside off, and tapped off the back foot to cover
