Wahab: That [no-ball] was a crucial moment. Unfortunately, I can't stop bowling no-balls. That pissed me off. Saifuddin is a great bowler and is doing very well for the team. It's not easy whenever a player like Russell is batting at the other end. We got wickets every two overs and that helped.
Shakib: Very disappointing the way we lost the game. It shouldn't have even come to the last over. From now on, every game will be a knockout match for us. Having said that, we still have a chance. Everyone bowled well and we fielded well as well.
Mohammad Saifuddin is the Player of the Match
Kayes: It was a phenomenal game today and I couldn't believe we won the match. Saifuddin, Afridi everyone did well. Tamim has been starting well, but we did not capitalise. Every match Tamim can't start like this, we need to work in that department.
Scenes in Dhaka. Saifuddin celebrates with a somersault. He wins it for Comilla and hands Dhaka their fifth successive defeat with figures of 4 for 22, including 16 dots. He hit a hard length with the new ball and then nailed the yorkers in the end to deny Russell. Dhaka are still in the running for a spot in the playoffs, though.
That's all we have for you from this game. Thanks for reading. Goodbye for now.
It boils down to six needed off the last ball
Can Russell hit 2 sixes?
Dhaka need 13 runs off five balls with just one wicket in hand. No.11 Shahadat Hossain. He will be on strike, and Russell with only be watching from the other end
Rubel Hossain lbw b Mohammad Saifuddin 0 (1b 0x4 0x6) SR: 0.00
Dhaka need 13 off the last over. Can Rubel turn the strike over off the first ball? Saifuddin is back on the field and will bowl it
