2.28 pm Khulna Titans will be delighted with the score, especially since they were only at 45 after ten overs. A whopping 111 runs off the final ten, courtesy Brathwaite's blitz, and now their bowlers have some sort of total to defend. It's a sluggish track, and scoring runs won't be too easy. Dhaka Dynamites will be disappointed with how their bowling effort ended, but they can make remedy with the bat. How will the second innings pan out? We shall find out when Alagappan Muthu returns with the chase in just a bit.
