Chattogram Challengers beat Minister Group Dhaka by 3 runs
That is all we have from this game. We have one more game coming up though. Fortune Barishal will face Sylhet Sunrisers at 5 pm IST (11:30 am GMT). Make sure you join us in advance for the build-up. See you there!
Afif Hossain, the skipper of Chattogram Challengers, says that it was a very important match as it was a do-or-die situation. Mentions that he was trying to get a stand with Will Jacks but unfortunately they could not carry on. Adds that the last couple of overs were really important and Mrittunjoy Chowdhury bowled really well in the last over.
Shamim Hossain is the PLAYER OF THE MATCH for his 37-ball 52. He says that it is a great feeling for him. Adds that he looks to bat through the innings.
Mahmudullah, the skipper of Minister Group Dhaka, says that they bowled well at the start but the death bowling was a bit poor. Adds that it was a chasable total and they were on the right track but it is disappointing to lose this. Mentions that if he had batted a few more overs, the result would have been different.
Stay tuned for the presentation.
Two overs of gold, 19th and 20th, were enough for Chattogram Challengers to steal a win. Yes, 11 came from the penultimate over but Tamim Iqbal was kept off strike before the start of the 20th, with a bit of luck. Mrittunjoy Chowdhury then provided the goods in the final over. The first ball was a wicket and after that, he made sure that Mohammad Naim could not get bat on ball to get Tamim back on strike. The southpaw did come back to face the last two balls but 7 were needed from them. There was also a no ball on the last delivery and we were one good hit away from a Super Over, but Mrittunjoy Chowdhury held his nerves and delivered for his team.
Minister Group Dhaka did not have a good start with the bat as Chattogram Challengers picked up 3 quick wickets inside the Powerplay. But a brilliant 71-run stand between Mahmudullah and Tamim Iqbal brought them back into the chase. The stage was set for the pair to see them through but Mahmudullah lost his wicket in the 15th over. But Shuvagata Hom came in next and delivered for his side as his 11-ball 22 got Dhaka back on top.
WHAT A GAME! What a win for Chattogram Challengers! They were out of it with the bat but made a strong comeback in the last four overs by scoring 51 runs. Then, they almost lost the game with the ball too but found a way to steal a win towards the end. The Challengers needed an inspired performance to stay alive and they have found it!

Mrittunjoy Chowdhury To Mohammad Naim
Chattogram Challengers win by 3 runs! Mrittunjoy Chowdhury keeps his composure and darts in a very full ball around off, Mohammad Naim fails to get under it and only manages to force it straight down the ground. The fielder in the deep collects it and it's only a run. Big celebration from Chattogram Challengers, they have saved their season, at least for now.

nb
Mrittunjoy Chowdhury To Mohammad Naim
HIGH FULL TOSS, IT'S A NO BALL! Is there a twist in the tale? Around middle, Naim swings his bat instinctively and gets it away off the top edge. The bowler takes the return catch but it's a no ball. Free Hit to follow.

Mrittunjoy Chowdhury To Qais Ahmad OUT!
OUT! SOUND OF TIMBER! The golden boy strikes again. More than the wicket, it's a dot ball and keeps Tamim away from the strike. A length ball is arrowed in from around off, Qais Ahmad tries to power it over the leg side but it stays a bit low and beats his blade. The stumps are rattled. 9 needed off 5 balls.
Now then. 9 needed off the last over but Tamim Iqbal is not on strike. Mrittunjoy Chowdhury has the ball in his hand.

Shoriful Islam To Shuvagata Hom OUT!
OUT! BOWLED 'EM! That's the length and the change in pace does the trick. The line is around middle, dropping on a good length, Shuvagata Hom is early into his shot and misses the ball completely.

SIX! That's dismissed! Sorry length from Shoriful. Short and around middle and leg, Shuvagata Hom turns inside the crease and dispatches it over square leg for a biggie. 14 needed off 11 balls.

FOUR! Excellent start to this phase for Dhaka. Mrittunjoy Chowdhury speeds in from 'round the wicket and serves a low full toss outside off, Shuvagata Hom reaches out and drives it through the gap at covers for a boundary.
Time-Out! 40 needed in the last 4 overs and this is likely heading down to the wire. As long as Tamim Iqbal is out there, Minister Group Dhaka would fancy their chances here. His wicket is the decisive one and Chattogram Challengers know that. Can one of their bowlers get the southpaw out? Mrittunjoy Chowdhury (2-0-9-1) is brought on.

Mehidy Hasan To Mahmudullah OUT!
OUT! TAKEN! Brilliant work by the pair in the deep! Tossed up, on off. Mahmudullah decides to take Mehidy on and plays the slog-sweep across the line. The ball goes high in the air towards deep mid-wicket. Now, there are two fielders converging. Shamim Hossain runs to his left and takes it. But his momentum is taking him over the ropes so he throws it to his partner when he is mid-air in his jump over the rope. Benny Howell takes it with ease. The TV umpire checks it and after a couple of angles, he gives Mahmudullah his marching orders!
Is that taken? Shamim Hossain has shown smartness near the boundary line as he takes the catch and then parries it to Benny Howell while stepping outside the fence. The third umpire is referred. It's clinically done, the replays confirm and Chattogram Challengers get the much-needed breakthrough.
Mehidy Hasan is back on. His two overs have gone for 22 runs.

Appeal for a run out! Tossed up, around off. Tamim Iqbal looks to play late to third man but gets it off the outside edge. The ball hits Akbar Ali's pads and goes to cover-point.

Now, the umpire wants to check if that direct hit had Tamim Iqbal short. But the replay shows that Tamim Iqbal landed his foot just before the ball had hit the stumps. Not sliding the bat is risky, but Tamim is safe.

Time-Out! Chattogram Challengers have had a great start but the game is not over. Mahmudullah and Tamim Iqbal are the kind of batters that can take the game away from them and this stand holds the key in this crucial 2-point game. If they can bat till the end, Minister Group Dhaka would fancy their chances of chasing this down. Benny Howell is brought on now.

Mehidy Hasan To Tamim Iqbal
FOUR! Finds the gap! Shot of a batsman in form. Short in length and outside off, Tamim camps back and cuts it through the gap between backward point and short third man. Played it very late and threaded the needle.
Change. Mehidy Hasan is brought on.

Nasum Ahmed To Mahmudullah
Mix-up but no harm done. Loopy and full around middle, Mahmudullah helps it off his pads to short fine leg. Tamim comes running down the track but his skipper is not interested. He returns as the fielder fires a weak throw at the bowler's end.

Mrittunjoy Chowdhury To Mahmudullah
Good fielding. Full and outside off. Mahmudullah drives it past the diving cover fielder. The man at sweeper cover runs to his right and puts in a dive. He parries it to the man from mid off, who was chasing the ball too. It is thrown back in and the batters get a couple.
Skipper Mahmudullah walks in next with Minister Group Dhaka struggling.

Mrittunjoy Chowdhury To Mashrafe Mortaza OUT!
OUT! BOWLED! The ploy to send Mashrafe Mortaza in the Powerplay doesn't work! Mrittunjoy Chowdhury comes a bit wide of the crease and bowls a scrambled-seam delivery, on a length, around off. Mashrafe Mortaza looks to smack it straight back over the bowler's head but plays inside the line. The ball beats his blade and goes on to hit the off pole! Minister Group Dhaka lose their third and are in a spot of bother.

Loopy ball, on off. Blocked out by Mashrafe Mortaza to the off side. Just a single and a wicket from the over. 130 needed in 16 overs.
Interesting. Mashrafe Mortaza has been promoted up the order. Minister Group Dhaka want to make use of the Powerplay.

Nasum Ahmed To Imran Uzzaman OUT!
OUT! TAKEN! Chattogram Challengers get the second wicket! Game on now! The pressure was building up a bit and Imran Uzzaman decides to take the spinner on. He drags this full ball from around off and plays the slog-sweep across the line. Connects it pretty well but there is a man at deep mid-wicket just for this. The ball goes flat and straight to Shamim Hossain. Easy catch for him.

Shoriful Islam To Imran Uzzaman
FOUR! Good shot to get off the mark! A low full toss, on off. Imran Uzzaman offers the full face of the bat and punches it down the ground. Shoriful Islam cannot get to it and despite moving to his left and diving, the fielder from mid on cannot stop it too.
Imran Uzzaman is the new batsman.

Shoriful Islam To Mohammad Shahzad OUT!
OUT! TAKEN! Big, big wicket for Chattogram Challengers! Shoriful Islam has been rewarded for his good bowling. Full, on middle, Mohammad Shahzad looks to hit it over mid off but gets no elevation on it. The ball goes straight to Afif Hossain and he takes it with ease. 139 needed in 106 balls now.

FOUR! That is the Mohammad Shahzad we know! Floated and full, landing outside off, Mohammad Shahzad leans forward and wristily drives it through the gap at covers for a boundary. The way he opened the face of his bat was beautiful.
Who will operate from the opposite end? It is going to be Nasum Ahmed.
