That's it. What we know for now is Barishal, along with Comilla, will make the first playoff game on Monday regardless of what happens tomorrow. Chattogram will be in the eliminator as long as they do not lose by many. Khulna will look to win or wish for the opposite if they lose. Dhaka will be looking on helplessly. So get your calculators, do your permutations and combinations to find out who might go through. In the meantime, stay safe and take care. This is Ekanth, signing off on behalf of my fellow commentator, Rashad Mahbub, and our scorer, Ranjith P.
Shakib Al Hasan, Barishal Captain and Man of the Match for his figures of 4-0-21-1 and 51* (29): Batting has been going well. Tried to put pressure with the ball. I think all bowlers did their job perfectly, they all looked for wickets. They were on their way to 150 but we pulled it back well. Munim Shariar looks like a really good talent and looks good to be a player for the future for Bangladesh.
Mahmudullah, Dhaka Captain: Tamim has been outsanding this tournament. Today was a good wicket to bat . When you're defending 128, you'll have to get wickets, concede few runs in the powerplay. We have to rely on luck but it's not have gone our way. If we do, we'll have to do better.
9:34 pm: Dhaka started the second innings with some control and held Barishal back. But once Shakib got going, there was no stopping him! He got 23 off an over when a run a ball was needed mid-innings and accelerated imperiously, giving no chance let alone a sniff for the opposition to come back. Dhaka tried their best but will now have to rest on results going their way tomorrow to stay in the competition. Sadly for them, things working out seems unlikely.

Aunim: "If Dhaka lose this surely they'll be out of the top 4 after tomorrow! Don't remember Dhaka ever exiting in the group stages." Yep, they never have. Them going through is still a mathematical possibility but it's no more in their control
