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 Zeeshan Naiyer. Do join us for the other fixtures across the globe. Until then, Ta-Ta, Bye-Bye.
Mashrafe Mortaza (Sylhet Strikers Captain):"Although it did become a little more challenging in the end, it was again another excellent victory for Thisara. Although we should have batted better, I believe that 150 would have been a good score on this classic Chattogram track. But it's crucial that we maintain our positive momentum into the following game and be flexible."
Imad Wasim (Player of the match): "Although I believe the pitch stayed low, there wasn't much spin available. On a surface like this, pace diversity, length, and hitting the right locations are all crucial. Every player is contributing beautifully, but this is a lengthy competition, so we must persevere. A hearty thank you to everyone who came to Chattogram from Sylhet in such large numbers."
Nasir Hossain (Dhaka Dominators Captain):"The bowlers actually got us back into the game after a strong start with the ball, but regrettably we were unable to complete the victory. I don't think the process we are now using is incorrect, so I'm not too disappointed with the outcome."
It's time for the post-match presentation.
