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.
