- BATSMENRB4s6sSR8.1 slower ball to start off, and he strikes! Trapped lbw in front of leg stump. All that experience is too much for Shanto. Full on middle and slides into the batsman's pads as he tries to whip this on the leg side. No contact of the bat and that's an easy decision for the umpire. A good innings comes to an end 73/23.4 Direct hit at the non-striker's, and Rangpur are celebrating! back of a length outside off, slower ball this time and cut to point. They're going for the quick single...and it's a disaster! Second direct hit in three balls for Zakir, and this time the South African is short! There's the breakthrough 28/18.5 stays low, and takes off stump! The around-the-wicket angle foxes Mahmudullah this time. It pitches back of a length outside off but angles into the right hander. Cuts him in half as the ball stays low. That wonderful sound of cork hitting timber 75/316 it's a skyer! Franklin takes his third! Sammy does very well to judge this ball. Came off the bat's toe end as he tries to lift this over long off once again, but only finds the elevation - and not the distance - this time. Very well taken by the captain 163/419.2 inside edge, and bowled! Full and wide outside off and he tries to slog this to the leg side by getting down on one knee. Takes the inside edge and ricochets into off stump. Sami has bowled really well today 210/5Extras11 (b 2, lb 3, nb 2, w 4)TOTAL213/5 (20 Overs, RR: 10.65)Fall of wickets: 1-28 (Rilee Rossouw, 3.4 ov), 2-73 (Najmul Hossain Shanto, 8.1 ov), 3-75 (Mahmudullah, 8.5 ov), 4-163 (Nicholas Pooran, 15.6 ov), 5-210 (Carlos Brathwaite, 19.2 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR2.1 bowled, first ball! Rattles off stump with that full ball just outside off. That delivery just needed the batsman to miss, and he did. Tries the straight drive but the ball sneaks between bat and pad. That's the first breakthrough 12/12.5 Down long on's throat! It was full on off stump and Wright finally makes the connection with his slog. Got his front out of the way, but clubbed to Archer. Does really well to not go over the ropes. Shafiul strikes twice! 13/28.1 down cow corner's throat! It was a full toss that should've been sent for half-a-dozen, but he drags his shot slightly. Doesn't have the elevation and Rossouw redeems himself in the field 68/38.2 short on leg stump, slower ball this time and he holes out to long on! On a hat-trick! Deceives the batsman completely, who tried to send this over cow corner, it comes off the edge of the bat and it's one of the simplest catches ever possible on a cricket field 68/410.1 holes out to midwicket! Short outside off and Sammy mistimes his pull. Lobs in the air and easily caught by Mahmudullah, who runs in from mid on 80/510.2 Fourth wicket for the man! Mushfiqur is castled! Off stump is broken as Mushfiqur gives a wild cross-batted heave towards the leg side. Not looking good for Rajshahi now 80/614.4 The change of angle gets him a wicket! It's a good-length ball on off stump and crashes into middle and off. Whizzes past his bat as he tries to slog this over the bowler's head. Archer gets rewarded for some smart bowling 120/717 full on off stump and slogged. It's in the air, and Mehidy must go too! Topspin this time and takes the leading edge off Mehidy's slog. Eventually slices it and long off does the rest 136/819 It's all over! Full on middle and straight to long on! In the slot to be hit but the tail-ender can only hit it off the bat's toe end. Khulna Titans win by 68 runs as Shaiful finishes with his first-five wicket haul in T20s 145/1017.5 good length on middle and the batsman charges down the wicket. He's stranded! as the quicker ball goes past his edge. Stumped by Pooran with ease 138/9Extras4 (lb 1, w 3)TOTAL145 all out (19 Overs, RR: 7.63)Fall of wickets: 1-12 (Mominul Haque, 2.1 ov), 2-13 (Luke Wright, 2.5 ov), 3-68 (Rony Talukdar, 8.1 ov), 4-68 (Zakir Hasan, 8.2 ov), 5-80 (Daren Sammy, 10.1 ov), 6-80 (Mushfiqur Rahim, 10.2 ov), 7-120 (James Franklin, 14.4 ov), 8-136 (Mehidy Hasan Miraz, 16.6 ov), 9-138 (Kesrick Williams, 17.5 ov), 10-145 (Mohammad Sami, 18.6 ov)
