Player of the Match

Sunil Narine

57(16)&0/24(4)

Right then, we are done with this match and have only one left to go in this edition of the Bangladesh Premier League. Fortune Barishal are already there in the final and Comilla Victorians will join them to fight out for the ultimate glory on Friday, 18th February 2022. The grand finale will begin at 5 pm IST (11.30 am GMT) but you can join us in advance for the build-up. Cheers!

Imrul Kayes, the winning captain of Comilla Victorians, says that it's a great feeling for them. Shares that everyone was down after their last loss and this win will lift them. Adds that their bowling has been doing a great job and tells that their plan was to attack in the Powerplay and that's why Sunil Narine was promoted. Mentions that Moeen Ali is carrying a good form from the CPL and Faf du Plessis has also been contributing. Hopes that they will keep up the good work in the final.

No prizes for guessing, Sunil Narine is the unanimous choice for the Player of the Match award. The West Indian says that he was delighted to open the innings. Mentions that it was a good batting pitch and there was not much spin. Adds it was important for them to win and he is looking forward to the final.

Afif Hossain, the captain of Chattogram Challengers, says that the pair of Akbar Ali and Mehidy Hasan gave them some total to fight. Admits that they didn't bowl well after picking the first wicket. Praises Narine for his batting. Feels that it was a decent tournament for them as a team and hopes that they have learned their lessons.

Presentation time...

Comilla Victorians will be on cloud nine! It was a top effort from them with the ball and then their batters made a mockery of the target. Sunil Narine went hammer and tongs after Comilla Victorians lost their first wicket on the first ball of the chase. He took the wind out of Chattogram Challengers' sails with his belligerent batting and hammered a 16-ball 57 to put the chase to bed inside the Powerplay. The rest of the pending work was finished by the pair of Faf du Plessis and Moeen Ali as the Victorians romped home with 43 balls to spare. There is nothing to write home about Chattogram Challengers who were poor with the bat and mediocre with the ball. The stand between Mehidy Hasan and Akbar Ali offered them some hope but that got squashed by a wizard from West Indies.

Crash! Bang! Wallop! What a powerful chase from Comilla Victorians. They have not just won but they have demolished the target to storm into the final. Setting the tone is very important at the start of an innings and when a batter strikes with a rate above 350 inside the Powerplay, notches up the fastest fifty of the Bangladesh Premier League, you stand no chance as a team. The Challengers were that unfortunate team this evening who suffered the onslaught from the bat of Sunil Narine and were forced into submission.

MISFIELD AND FOUR! Nothing going Chattogram Challengers' way and they would want this evening to end soon. 21 more needed off 54 balls.

Mrittunjoy Chowdhury To Faf du Plessis

SIX! A one-handed beast! Slower one, full and around off, this is the slot for the batter, Faf du Plessis gives the full whack of his bat and it sails over long on. The bottom hand had come off the handle but it doesn't matter.

6.1

Benny Howell To Faf du Plessis

On middle, Faf du Plessis eases it to wide of mid on for a single.

Strategic Time-Out! Everyone needs this break after what Sunil Narine did with the bat. The man was on fire and notched up the fastest fifty in BPL history. His blitz has thrown the required rate out of the window and Comilla Victorians just need to bat sensibly to see this chase home. Benny Howell to bowl after the break.

5.4

Mrittunjoy Chowdhury To Sunil Narine OUT!

OUT! CAUGHT AND BOWLED! Narine perishes but what a knock this is! Pure entertainment and he has done his job here. A length ball, angling on middle and slower in pace. Sunil looks to go big on the leg side but miscues his shot. He gets a top edge, in the air and Mrittunjoy Chowdhury takes an easy return catch by moving across to his right at covers. Sunil Narine returns amidst a standing ovation.

5.3

Mrittunjoy Chowdhury To Sunil Narine

FOUR! Narine is playing like there are no fielders! A full ball, on off. Narine goes over mid off and bags another boundary. It didn't come off the middle but that is the power of Narine.

5.2

Mrittunjoy Chowdhury To Sunil Narine

A length ball, outside off. Narine swings but misses.

5.1

Mrittunjoy Chowdhury To Sunil Narine

SIX! FIFTY FOR SUNIL NARINE! Off just 13 deliveries. Unbelievable stuff from the West Indian. This is full and in the slot. Narine heaves it over cow corner for a biggie. He just knows one thing, attack. This is now the quickest fifty in BPL history.

Change. Mrittunjoy Chowdhury is into the attack now.

SIX! This is poor bowling! Afif serves it short and on middle, Narine uses the depth of his crease and hoists it handsomely over wide long on.

4.1

3.2

Nasum Ahmed To Imrul Kayes

SIX! Up and over! 50 comes up! Tossed up, full and around middle, Imrul Kayes goes down on one knee and muscles it with the spin over deep square leg. The fielder jumps near the fence but it flies over him.

3.1

Nasum Ahmed To Imrul Kayes

Mehidy Hasan To Sunil Narine

NOT OUT! Pitching outside leg. Mehidy returns to over the wicket and dishes out a flatter ball around leg, Narine goes down to sweep but misses. He is pinged on the pads, they appeal but the umpire shakes his head. Chattogram Challengers take the ADRS, more in hope, and it gets squashed by the third umpire as the replays show that it landed outside leg. End of the over, 23 runs coming off it!

Review taken! Mehidy Hasan asks his skipper to refer an LBW appeal upstairs. No bat clearly. It is pitching outside leg and Chattogram Challengers lose their review.

1.5

Mehidy Hasan To Sunil Narine

SIX! This is belligerent batting! Sunil Narine is taking the wind out of Chattogram Challengers' sails very early in the chase. Fuller and close to off, Sunil Narine shows no mercy, it has landed in his half and he sends it firing over extra cover for a maximum.

1.4

Mehidy Hasan To Sunil Narine

FOUR! This is mayhem. The length is fuller, it's served in the flatter trajectory, again Narine stays leg-side of this delivery and clobbers it over covers.

1.3

Mehidy Hasan To Sunil Narine

SIX! And again! Sunil Narine is on fire! Quicker and flatter on off, short in length, Sunil Narine steps back to make room and rockets it over extra cover.

1.2

Mehidy Hasan To Sunil Narine

SIX! That's splendid! Flatter and around off, a touch too full, Sunil Narine hangs back and hammers it over long off for a biggie.

1.1

Mehidy Hasan To Imrul Kayes

Floated and on middle, helped to mid-wicket for a run. That's all Imrul Kayes needs to do, hand the strike to Sunil Narine and let him do the job he has been assigned in the Powerplay.

FOUR! BANG! Sunil Narine has quickly stolen the momentum back from Chattogram Challengers with his counter punch. Short in length and outside off, Narine goes on his toes and whacks it over point. 20 from the first over, along with a wicket.

Who will bowl from the other end? It is Mehidy Hasan.

0.6

Shoriful Islam To Sunil Narine

Wide called for height! Shoriful Islam dares the batter again with a short ball. The bounce gets big on Narine who decides to leave it this time.

0.5

Shoriful Islam To Sunil Narine

FOUR! That's thumped! Shoriful Islam overcorrects his length and delivers it very full outside off, Sunil Narine opens his wrists and smacks it through cover-point for a cracking boundary.

0.4

Shoriful Islam To Sunil Narine

SIX! PUMPED OVER! This is the only way Sunil Narine knows to bat. Short and around middle, the West Indian rides the bounce and launches it over mid-wicket for a maximum.

0.3

Shoriful Islam To Sunil Narine

FOUR BYES! The situation of the match doesn't matter much to this batter. Sunil Narine backs away to smash a short ball across the line. He misses, Akbar Ali also misses and it runs behind to fine leg for a boundary.

0.2

Shoriful Islam To Imrul Kayes

Sliding down the leg side, Imrul fails to keep it out and it goes off his pads to square leg. They cross for a leg bye and the chase is underway for Comilla Victorians.

The skipper, Imrul Kayes walks out early. Two slips in play.

0.1

Shoriful Islam To Liton Das OUT!

OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Shoriful is absolutely pumped up and running in celebration. What a snorter from him! Pace and bounce, around middle and it shoots off the surface. Liton Das is caught in an awkward position inside the crease. He is cramped for room and then the ball bounces to kiss his gloves. It loops behind in front of first slip but Akbar Ali, the keeper, reacts and dives across to his right to complete the catch. A perfect start for Chattogram Challengers and Shoriful Islam has drawn first blood.
