That is all from the action here. There is another match coming right up after this in an hour's time in BPL. Make sure you join us for that, for now this is Sourabh Agrawal signing off on behalf off my co-commentator Ajay and scorer Ghanendra Singh Thakur. Ciao!
Mohammad Mithun (Chittagong Kings' Captain): "The batsman did their job first putting a good total on the board and then the bowlers did well. That is the specialty in our team, we have covered every area, that area specially with Shamim and Haider as finishers and the top-order did well too. Every match is important for us, we are going home to Chittagong now."
Graham Clark (POTM): "Yeah, we felt it was a good wicket. We thought of getting to 200 and we got there. There was no real swing or seam. There was no pressure on me, when I came out to bat. Had a chat in the dressing room and they said to me just go and play positively."
Player of the Match: Graham Clark
Time for the post-match presentation..
17:01 Local Time, 16:01 IST: A comfortable 30-run victory for Chittagong Kings and this makes it a hat-trick of wins for them. In doing so, they have moved to the second spot in the points table while the Strikers remain at fifth.
Having been put into bat by Sylhet, Chittagong went on to score a big total on the back of fifties from Graham Clark and Usman Khan along with a hard-hitting 18-ball 42 from Haider Ali towards the end which propelled their score to 203.
Chasing 204, a good start was always going to be important and that is exactly what Sylhet Strikers did not get. Opener Paul Stirling fell for a golden duck in the first over itself. Zakir Hasan was promoted to 3 and he played a few lovely shots but his innings was short-lived as he departed in the fifth over. Rony Talukdar looked scratchy all this while and he was dismissed in the final over of the powerplay where the Strikers only scored 46.
The innings went into a lull post that as just 15 runs came in the next 4 overs. The Chittagong pacers were brilliant and they used the cutters effectively hitting the hard lengths and making it tough for the batters, Munsey and Jones struggled to lay bat on ball, specially Munsey and that did not help Strikers. Jones was trapped in front by Wasim who was getting the ball to reverse and bowled a lovely spell.
George Munsey finally turned it around and got going. He went from being on 9 off 17 to completing his fifty in 36 balls and gave hope to the home team. Jaker Ali was at the other end hitting them well too. But Munsey fell at the end of the 15th over and the asking was too tough for the batters then.
Jaker Ali tried his best but there was too much to do for him in the end as wickets kept falling at the other end. Wasim got 3, Aliss got 2 and others chipped in too and closed out a comfortable win for Chittagong Kings.
