8:50 pm: Khulna Tigers won the match by 9 wickets, booked a spot in the Playoffs and knocked Minister Group Dhaka out of the tournament. What a way to end the group stage of BPL Season - 8. We have witnessed two great hundreds tonight of two legendary T20 players, Faf du Plessis and Andre Fletcher, followed by a brilliant fifty by Shak Mahedi Hasan. A dominating batting display by the Khulna openers, Comilla bowlers getting thrashed and whacked all over the ground, plenty of reasons for the Khulna fans to celebrate the night.
That ends the day 15 and the group stage of Bangladesh Premier League Season - 8, see you all on 14th February with 2 exciting games. This is Rashad Mahbub signing off along with Ekanth and Thilak. Till then, take care and good night.
