- BATSMENRB4s6sSR9.4 short on leg this time and Shanto can't read the length one bit. He charges down the wicket and tries to slog, the ball goes between his body and the bat's wild swing, the keeper has an easy takedown 46/33.5 Rony does the Starman! Flighted outside off and Klinger wants to send this out of the park, plays a cross-batted shot and it's a skyer, mid on has to run back and does just about enough to take the diving catch 22/16 A disastrous way to end the Powerplay! Tries to hit a big shot off the final ball of the fielding restrictions and it's sliced. Up in the air, and Shakib - from cover - gets under it. Slightly fumble from the captain, but he completes the catch. The struggling Dhiman must go 29/218 slow and full outside off, and he holes out! Well struck but too flat, and straight into the hands of Mosaddek at cow corner. Sharp catch, that shot had some sting behind it 125/512.2 unnecessary and Mahmudullah pays the price for it. Afridi is too quick a bowler for one to successfully play the reverse sweep, it's full on middle and the batsman can't get into position early. He swings at it anyway and takes the glove and his arm and lobs into the air. The keeper has to move only two steps to his right to complete the catch. The captain has to go 71/4Extras4 (lb 2, nb 1, w 1)TOTAL156/5 (20 Overs, RR: 7.8)Fall of wickets: 1-22 (Michael Klinger, 3.5 ov), 2-29 (Dhiman Ghosh, 5.6 ov), 3-46 (Najmul Hossain Shanto, 9.4 ov), 4-71 (Mahmudullah, 12.2 ov), 5-125 (Rilee Rossouw, 17.6 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR0.5 that's mis-hit and mid-off takes it. Good strike for Jayed, who has been one of the more impressive Bangladeshi pace bowlers in this tournament. Pitches it on a good length on off stump, Lewis wants to smash it over long-on. He loses his shape. The ball pings off the outside half of the bat. It's a skier, but Mahmudullah, the captain, takes it comfortably 4/15.1 excellent catch by Mahmudullah, running back from mid-on, head craned to track the ball all the way into his hands after a lovely little slide! Great work from the captain, first bringing a spinner on against a pair of batsmen playing wild shots, tempting them into a proper trap. Dananjaya does well, tossing it up to make Narine go for it. He mistimes the slog and Mahmudullah does the rest. The entire dugout runs out towards the boundary edge to clap the team on 24/42 picks out cover! Two of Dhaka's biggest hitters are back in the pavilion. And judging by Shaiful's reaction - a wide smile and a joyous leap into the air - they were looking for just such a start. Good length ball, but he spots Afridi making room for himself and so takes the pace off and bowls it wide outside off. The batsman reaches out for it, mistimes the shot and is caught by Klinger 6/24.1 continues his sensational run in this BPL with a 144 kph delivery that nails Delport on his boot and then the stumps. Superb delivery, tailing into the left-hander, who is cramped, then is panicking, then pulls out the flick shot and finally leaves to probably tend to a bruise on his foot. 13/38.3 beautiful bowling! He pulls the length back, pulls the pace back, demands Shakib to force the ball away if he wants to. The batsman tries, pulling hard at the shortish delivery, but he does so off-balance, and as a result picks out deep midwicket 41/514.4 top-edge and it's taken by the wicketkeeper. Khulna needed that badly and some presence of mind helps bring it to fruition. Shafiul goes for the slower short ball, Pollard, in big-hitting mode, pulls way too early, gets a top edge and watches the ball settle into Dhiman Ghosh's gloves 114/6Extras9 (lb 3, nb 1, w 5)TOTAL157/6 (19.5 Overs, RR: 7.91)Fall of wickets: 1-4 (Evin Lewis, 0.5 ov), 2-6 (Shahid Afridi, 1.6 ov), 3-13 (Cameron Delport, 4.1 ov), 4-24 (Sunil Narine, 5.1 ov), 5-41 (Shakib Al Hasan, 8.3 ov), 6-114 (Kieron Pollard, 14.4 ov)
