7.30pm Phew, what an unrelenting assault from Gayle. Phew, what bizarre tactics from Dhaka Dynamites. After dropping Gayle on 22, Shakib - Dhaka's best bowler sent down only three overs. Gayle, playing his 10th final in T20 cricket, broke Dhaka and records to propel Rangpur to 206. Be back in a bit for the chase.

Tasmia Tahia: "How did Dhaka end up making a hash out of this? Christopher Henry Gayle! You beauty! This innings reminds me of his 175 for RCB. Gayle storm hits dhaka!"

Nikhil: "Wow. After a thunderstorm a couple of nights ago, it's the gayle storm today. Whattttaman.. What an innings. And what a time to produce it. "
