Mashrafe Mortaza to Chigumbura, OUT, short of length delivery, angling down the leg, Chigumbura went for that swing, that ball went flat and Stevens took that at deep midwicket. That's all Dhaka Gladiators won it by 4 runs and made it into the finals. Sylhet Royals still in the hunt and will play on Sunday in the second semi-final. Gayle named MOM. Thanks for following the game, Cheers!

Mashrafe Mortaza to Chigumbura, 1 run, OUT, Can you believe it? It's all happening here, fuller length delivery outside off, he went across and plays towards deep midwicket, Chigumbura quickly gets back for the second but Rahim still in the striker's end and finally a run out, Keeper collects the ball and ran towards the non-striker's end to remove the bails and Rahim gone

Mushfiqur Rahim run out 86 (76m 44b 6x4 5x6) SR: 195.45

Mashrafe Mortaza to Mushfiqur Rahim, (no ball) 1 run, another short delivery, and he went for a wild hit and got an top edge and keeper took it, Rahim walking back. Wait! umpire called him back and checking the front foot no-ball. It's too close to make a call either way and finally the decision, it's a no ball and a Free Hit
