Man of the Match
Shakib Al Hasan
Commentry
Right then. That’s it from the coverage of this game. But the action in the Bangladesh Premier League continues in a short while. As, Khulna Tigers take on Sylhet Sunrisers at 1700 IST (1130 GMT). But as usual, the build-up will begin much earlier. Do join us then. Cheers!
Shakib Al Hasan, the victorious skipper, is also the Player of the Match for his all-around performance. He says that the team is defending really well. Adds that they are not that short of runs as well, 10-20 runs more should be a good score. Mentions that they should think of scoring more boundaries but he is happy with the team's performance.
Imrul Kayes, the skipper of Comilla Victorians, is in for a chat. He says, the target was obviously chaseable but their bowlers dominated with the ball. Mentions, Karim Janat has been really good in the death overs but unfortunately, Shakib Al Hasan batted really well and congratulates the player for his effort.
Stay tuned for the presentation...
A brilliant spell by the bowlers and Fortune Barishal marched on with ease. The skipper, Shakib Al Hasan earlier displayed some brilliant effort with the blade and continued to impress with the ball as well. He took the first two wickets of the chase and killed the hopes of the opposition early on. Later, the bowlers kept chipping up wickets at regular intervals and they never let Comilla Victorians have a sniff. Nayeem Hasan was the pick of the bowler with his three wickets. Dwayne Bravo bagged two while Najmul Hossain Shanto took a wicket.
Comilla Victorians dug themselves into a hole by losing early wickets at the top. Liton Das was the one who accelerated the innings with his 19 but could not get much support from the other end. One wrong decision by him costed him his wicket. At the end of Powerplay, Comilla Victorians were at 35/3. Some batters failed to convert their good start, while some never got going. This was a dismal batting display by Comilla Victorians.
A dominating performance with the ball sees Fortune Barishal extend their lead at the top of the table, although Comilla Victorians should not put their heads down as they have an extra game in hand over Fortune Barishal.

Around off, pushed through covers for a single.
Review! Shakib Al Hasan opts for the review for an lbw decision. The replays show no bat is involved and later confirms the ball might be missing the leg stump. Hence the on field decision stands.

NOT OUT! A huge appeal for LBW but nothing happening. Dwayne Bravo was convinced but the umpire thinks otherwise! Full ball, angling on the pads. Tanvir Islam stays back and looks to work it on the leg side but misses. An appeal but not given. No bat there. It was angling down so the on-field decision stays.

A short ball, outside off. Islam looks to pull but misses.

Slower one on the pads. Rahman somehow gets his bat on it and tucks it to square leg for a single.
