Commentary

That’s a wrap from our side as well. Thank you for joining us from all around the globe. This is Prince Suman signing off on behalf of my co-commentator Deepak Prakash and Scorer / Analyst Ghanendra Singh Thakur. Do join us for the other fixtures across the globe. Until then, Ta-Ta, Bye-Bye.

Imrul Kayes( Comilla Victorians Captain): "We talked a lot about how we didn't gel in the first three games. On the field, we prepared and performed. When a batter is set, he should continue to bat and score 70–80 runs; Litton did that for us. We had a strategy, and I was aware that if we broke up that combination, there wouldn't be much left to bat, but Imad and Perera did a good job."

Litton Das (Player of the Match): "Really? I just give it my best shot. At least in my opinion, and because I work hard to prepare for such surfaces, Chittagong is a good place for batting. You need partnerships and one of the hitters to bat for 15–16 overs while you are chasing low totals."

Mashrafe Mortaza(Sylhet Strikers Captain): "In my opinion. We were lacking by 15–20 runs. Imad and Perera fought back, but it wasn't enough as we lost 7 wickets in the first 10 overs. Sometimes you have to bat more cautiously when you lose 2-3 wickets."

9:25 PM IST | Prince: Comilla Victorians stopped the winning streak of Sylhet Strikers. Comilla Victorians thumped the Sylhet Strikers by 5 wickets with 6 balls to spare.

Earlier, after being invited to bat first, Sylhet Strikers posted 133 runs for the loss of 7 wickets in 20 overs. After the loss of three wickets in quick succession Sylhet Strikers posted 35 runs in a powerplay. Mohammad Harish(7 runs off 6 balls), Akbar Ali(1 off 2 balls), and Zakir Hasan(9 off 8) failed to impress with the bat today, and they were the batter to depart in the powerplay. Mushfiqur Rahim and Najmul Hossain Shanto tried to build some partnership but their progress was halted as Mushfiqur Rahim departed for 16 runs off 15 balls. After that, a Swashbuckling inning by Thisara Perera (43* off 31 balls) and ably supported by Imad Wasim Who scored unbeaten 43 runs off 33 balls which helped Sylhet Strikers to post 133 runs in 20 overs. On the flip side, Hassan Ali and Mukidul Islam chipped in with a couple of wickets, while Abu Hider Rony and Tanvir Islam extracted a solitary wicket each.

While chasing a small target of 134 runs, Litton Das(70 runs off 42 balls) and Mohammad Rizwan(15 runs off 18 balls) opened the inning for Comilla Victorians. They did well in the powerplay as they posted 49 runs without losing any wickets. A swashbuckling inning by Litton das. After the loss of Litton das wicket, Johnson Charles scored unbeaten 18 runs in 18 balls helping the Comilla Victorians to get their 2nd win in this tournament. On the flip side, Mashrafa Mortaza scalped 2 wickets while Sharifullah extracted a solitary wicket.

Back-to-back victory for Comilla Victorians, and they will look to carry the momentum in the upcoming matches. On the other side, Sylhet Strikers need to regroup and come back stronger in the upcoming matches.
