Thanks for joining us today and good night from Ranjith, Vairavan, Rashad and me

Shakib al Hasan is the player of the match as well: Bit more confident after the last game. Batting well upfront and finishing the innings well is something we haven't been doing well. Good thing is that we are doing well despite not playing to the best of our abilities

Naeem Islam: We bowled well in the death overs. This was a chaseable target. We had different game plans as they have a lot of left-handers. We need to bat well in the next match

Fortune Barishal get away for not batting their quota of overs as Chattogram Challengers put on a batting display that would have their captain and coach fuming

Bravo to Mehidy Hasan Miraz, OUT, bowled! After getting taken for 15 runs in the over one could expect that Bravo might lose his composure, but he is quick to spot that Mehidy goes outside the off stump to scoop and slips a straight and full delivery on the stumps. Mehidy doesn't connect with the scoop and misses
