Thanks for joining us for this game. Please do join us for the second game today. Till then bye from me, Chandan Duorah and Rashad

Afif Hossain: It was a important game for us. We tried our best. After losing a wicket early, we tried to get a partnership going and we failed. It was a team effort and a good effort by Shamim. Mrittunjoy bowled well and it was a team effort

Shamim Hossain is the player of the match : It's a great feeling especially for me. My target today was to finish unbeaten. While fielding I want the ball to come to me everytime. It was nice to be a part of that catch.

Mahmudullah :We have mixed feelings. We bowled well upfront and didn't finish well. Disappointed with the result of the game and we should've won the game. There are quite a few turning points in this game - my wicket and Shuvagato's wicket

Chattogram Challengers win by three runs! Minister Group Dhaka looked like winning it in the 19th over itself when Shuvagato Hom hit the first ball of the over for a six. His wicket off the very next delivery started to turn the game Chattogram Challengers' way. With 9 required off the final over, Mrittunjoy bowled a superb over.

Shoriful Islam to Tamim Iqbal, FOUR, no, he can't as he goes wide outside the off stump. Tamim has room to stretch his arms and throw the kitchen sink at it. He does exactly that and gets a top edge that flies over the short third-man fielder. 9 required off the final over. Are we going to witness a super over ?

Can he finish the over well?

Shoriful Islam to Shuvagata Hom, OUT, there's the comeback with a slower delivery! Length delivery on the stumps. Shuvagato is looking for a similar result as the previous ball as he goes through with the shot and fails to read the slower delivery. Misses and is bowled. Shoriful shows a cool head under pressure.

Shoriful Islam to Shuvagata Hom, SIX, length ball and he slogs it ferociously over the square-leg boundary for a six. It wasn't short. He just went with the stroke and got himself a maximum. 14 off 11 required now
