Stay tuned for the presentation...

Earlier in the game, Chattogram Challengers won the toss and opted to bat first and managed to post a total of 159 runs on the board. They didn't start their innings as they planned but a rugged partnership of Tom Bruce and Tanzid Hasan helped them to post a target to defend. Durdanto Dhaka's bowling unit was in total form tonight but their batting unit should have chased it. In the second innings, no other player than Alex Ross stood up to oppose the opposition's bowlers. However, Chattogram are still up and running for the playoffs and should be happy with the result of the game.

On the other side, the top-order batters of Durdanto Dhaka failed to make a good head start for their team. They were too careful about their wickets in the first couple of overs but in the third over two of their batters got dismissed in the single over. Alex Ross and Mohammad Naim combined and slowed the pace of the game. They had a sturdy partnership of 51 runs of 46 deliveries but it broke with the dismissal of Naim just when he was looking dangerous. However, on the other side of the pitch, Alex Ross started turning out big shots to gain some control of the match. He played like a lone wolf, but things didn't turn on his side as he had to walk down the pavilion scoring 55 runs off 44 deliveries. Mosaddek Hossain tried his level best with a few blows of boundary but was not lucky enough.

A win for Chattogram Challengers means their hopes for the playoffs are still alive. Chattogram Challengers started their inning by picking two wickets in back-to-back deliveries in the powerplay. It was none other than the skipper himself, Shuvagata Hom, who drew the first two blood for his team and curtailed any early momentum for the opposition. However, they failed to continue the wickets on daily events which helped to build a partnership with their opposition, but Shohidul Islam did the important job of breaking the partnership in the 11th over. After the event, Chattogram Challengers was back on track, and after a few more wickets they disrupted the opposition's rhythm at a crucial time. At the end of the innings, Shuvagata Hom picked up two wickets and Bilal Khan, Salauddin Sakil, and Shohidul Islam chipped in for one each.

Back of a length in middle, Mosaddek Hossain smashes this to long on for a single. Chattogram Challengers have defeated Durdanto Dhaka by 10 runs.

FOUR! Over-pitched on off, Mosaddek Hossain thumps this down the ground for a boundary. Too little to late from Mosaddek Hossain.

Full toss below the waist and Irfan Sukkur slogs this high towards the empty pockets at mid-wicket for a single.

Full toss on off, Mosaddek Hossain lofts this on a bounce towards long off for a single. 3 sixes needed of the last 3 deliveries now.

Brilliant comeback from Shohidul Islam as he nails a wide yorker and takes the sting out of this chase as not 18 needed off the last 4.

FOUR! We got ourselves a game as Mosaddek Hossain starts off with a boundary. Full toss wide of off, Mosaddek Hossain smashes this wide of extra-cover and for a boundary.

22 needed off the last over. Its a big ask but it's doable.

SIX! That's more like it. What could have been a good over goes for 11. Short-pitched on leg, Irfan Sukkur moves to his leg and pulls this up and over the fence towards deep mid-wicket region for a maximum.
