7.42pm "Yeah it was a great bowling effort," DJ Bravo says. Well done to all our bowlers. Malik set the tone for us in the Powerplay, and also good to see Al-Amin among the wickets. If we apply ourselves, it is a good cricket wicket. We never actually had a plan for Shoaib to open the bowling. Mahedi got the ball to spin in the first over. This is T20 cricket and anything is possible.
Right, that's it from me. Sreshth will call the chase. Ciao
Kapil: "Tamim by bowling Bravo out has given away at least 10 more runs than what Khulna should have got. Hasan Ali should have bowled the 19th over. Less than 100 would have been a hammering but 111 is ok as well"
SM: "Bowling changes towards the end has costed 10-20 extra runs I think. Comilla could have restricted them to under 100."

Kapil: "I think its a flaw that Khulna is a strong team. It isn't. Just that Brathwaite and Mahmudullah have won them 2-3 games single handedly. Their bowling except for Archer's good performance isn't good as well. They should be easily beaten by other teams like Dhaka, Comilla and even Rangpur"

Tasmia Tahia: "On paper, this is the same Khulna squad as the one that scored the tournament highest yesterday, but the performances couldn't be different. Is Rajshahi just that toothless an opponent or did Khulna party too hard after climbing to the top of the group? Totally uninspiring performance today so far, and a baffling decision at the toss. When we said learn from the previous match, we meant learn from your own performance, not copy what Rajshahi did wrong! "
Mahneel: "Just like last season, the Titans are overly reliant on Mahmudullah, you cant expect him to do the job every match. They need a reliable middle order batsman who can steady the ship by rotating ends."
