7.35pm So Comilla end with 153, which is not a bad score by any means. In fact, given the trend of low scores this BPL, this is very much defendable. But look at the two men on the other side that will walk out to open the innings - Chris Gayle and Brendon McCullum. They also have other big hitters in Perera and Bopara. Comilla need a good, solid performance on the field to defend this.

"I'm very proud of myself. I have worked very hard for the last few years, which has been the reason for my success in T20 cricket," says Thisara Perera after picking up 200 career wickets. "I always bowl square-arm now because it's easy to bowl. With out batting line-up, this should be an easy target to get."
