That is it from this game. The action continues on 8th February as Chattogram Challengers will take on Minister Group Dhaka at 12 pm IST (6:30 am GMT). But the build-up will begin much early. So do join us there. Till then, Adios.
Mushfiqur Rahim, the skipper of Khulna Tigers, says that Soumya Sarkar batted really well and he thought the bowlers did well in restricting the opposition. Mentions that he is really proud of all the boys and he really appreciates all their efforts on the field.
Ravi Bopara, the skipper of Sylhet Sunrisers, says it is disappointing to lose, but he thought they bowled well, and they were happy to chase 183, but they never got going with the bat. Mentions that the debutant bowled really well, he showed great skill, even Alauddin Babu and Mosaddek Hossain were on cue, they got early wickets but could not get more towards the end. States that they have to do well in their remaining games and win all of them.
Soumya Sarkar is the Player of the Match for his all-around performance.
Stay tuned for the presentation...
The bowlers had runs to play with and they did well to create pressure and even the pitch was favoring them. They started well by not giving away easy runs and put pressure on them in the middle phase as well. Thisara Perera and Soumya Sarkar scalped two wickets each but overall, Mushfiqur Rahim will be very happy with his side.
Sylhet Sunrisers were off to a brisk start as both the openers were cautious and playing it safe. Anamul Haque changed gears as he went for the big shots and did well to control the innings. But once he fell, the wickets started to tumble. It was the partnership between Colin Ingram and Mosaddek Hossain that kept the hopes alive but the chase was too big for them and ultimately they lost. Alauddin Babu showed his batting skill in the death and almost gave the magical finish but it was just too big of a task for him.
6,6,6,1,0,1....Kamrul Islam nearly had his heart in his mouth. 36 were needed off the last over and Alauddin Babu almost took his team over the line. Eventually, Khulna Tigers get the two points and move third in the table. It is looking very hard for Sylhet Sunrisers from now on though to proceed in the next stage.
