Minister Group Dhaka won the match by 4 wickets with 15 balls to spare. What a comeback from Minister Group Dhaka! Batting collapse at the top order, brilliant seam bowling from Shafiqul and Joseph, sensible and patient batting in the middle by the veterans Shuvagata and Mahmudullah, a late cameo by Dre Russ. This match had every bit of entertainment in it! A much needed first win for Mahmudullah's team. Thanks for tuning in, do join us again for the second game coming up shortly. This is Rashad Mahbub along with Binoy and Ranjith signing off.
