Litton Das wins the Player of the Match award. He says it is a different ball game while playing a big team but credits the way Towhid Hridoy played. Adds they need to improve with the ball though, they didn't do well in the back end. Reckons they knew the strength of Rangpur Riders and played accordingly.
Nurul Hasan says Comilla Victorians batted brilliantly. Adds they had a good score and batted well throughout but didn't bowl well. Reckons they still have high hopes to win he next match and go to the finals.
...Presentation time...
No doubt Rangpur Riders had the score they could defend but their bowling was not that well. Slower balls were working on this kind of pitch but they didn't serve much when Towhid Hridoy and Litton Das were batting. A couple of bowling changes were questionable as well. One big stand was enough to snatch the game away from them. Feel for James Neesham who batted so brilliantly, single-handedly took to a competitive score but it was not enough in the end.
Celebrations have started in the Comilla Victorians' camp as they cruise into the finals. A fantastic chase from them. They really deserve it for the way they played. Chasing such a score in a nervy match is not as easy as Comilla Victorians have made it look. To make it even worse, they lost Sunil Narine in the first over but then came the stand between two local boys. Towhid Hridoy and Litton Das were just exceptional. They were so calculative with the score. Both added 143-runs and the game was over there and that. So, so brilliant.
