Commentary

That's all from this contest. Khulna Tigers have won four matches on the trot, and they are yet to be defeated in this tournament. For now, this is Deepak Prakash signing off on behalf of scorer/analyst Manish Bishnoi. CHEERS!

Anamul Haque (Khulna Tigers Captain): "Thank you! Especially, in today's match we saw too much dew, and bowlers were finding it quite difficult to grip the ball, but thanks to Mukidul, Nawaz, and the pace bowling unit Wasim, they bowled very well, and that's why we managed to restrict them to 130 runs. This was not a 130-run pitch, so once again I thank my bowlers, who did exceptionally well today."

Mohammad Nawaz (Player of the Match): "Yeah they were going very good and we were thinking for the wickets and back-to-back wickets brought us back into the game. To be honest, at that moment we were not thinking that we could restrict them till 130 because they were playing very well but yeah in our mind we were looking for the opportunities and grabbed some wickets and put them under pressure and the wickets came at right time so yeah we were quite good in that time."

Player of the Match: Mohammad Nawaz

Mosaddek Hossain (Durdanto Dhaka Captain): "We got off to a good start but lost the momentum after losing the first wicket. We were very poor with the bat after the opening partnership, and we gifted away wickets. The pitch was suitable for the batters and it looked like a 200-run pitch but we could only muster 130 runs."

9:01 PM IST, 9:31 PM Local Time: Khulna Tigers thump Durdanto Dhaka by 10 wickets with 32 balls to spare, and extend their winning streak to four matches. A complete dominance by the Tigers.

Earlier, after opting to bat first, Durdanto Dhaka got off to a solid start as Saim Ayub and Mohammad Naim added 75 runs for the first wicket, with Naim departing for 21-ball 41 runs. Following the wicket of Mohammad Naim, Durdanto Dhaka started losing wickets at regular intervals, which included the wicket of Ayub (35), finding themselves in a dire situation, as they were 106/7 in the 16th over of the innings.

Alex Ross contributed 21 runs, but Dhaka kept losing wickets at regular intervals and were 9 wickets down for 114 runs in the 17th over. However, Arafat Sunny's unbeaten 15 runs at the cue end of the innings helped Dhaka post a respectable 130/9 in 20 overs.

Mohammad Nawaz shone with the ball for the Tigers, claiming three wickets. Mohammad Wasim Jr and Mukidul Islam chipped in with a couple of wickets, while Dasun Shanaka and Afif Hossain contributed one wicket to Dhaka's downfall.

In pursuit of a paltry 130 runs, Khulna Tigers got off to a solid start as Anamul Haque and Evin Lewis scored at a brisk pace from the word go and added fifty runs for the first wicket. However, Lewis (26 off 13) had to walk off the field due to a side strain, and Afif Hossain replaced the southpaw on the crease.

The pair of Afif and Anamul continued with a similar approach to batting and added the remaining runs without losing their wickets, with skipper Anamul reaching his fifty in the process, while Afif remained unbeaten on 37 runs. Khulna Tigers won by 10 wickets with 32 balls to spare.
